differentiate between symbiotic association & saprotrophs

Dear student.

Symbiotic relationship is defined as the mutually dependent relationship between two or more different organisms. For example: lichens is a symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae.

Saprotrophs are the organisms that derive their nourishment from dead and decayed organisms. For example: mushroom.

Regards.
