Step-by-step solution

Saprophytes are the organisms that obtain nutrients directly from the dead matter, especially fungi.
Myco-heterotrophs are plants, fungi, or micro-organisms that live on dead or decomposing matter and parasitize fungi, rather than dead organic matter directly.

A parasite is an organism which lives in or on a host organism and gets its food from or at the \cos t of its host life. The three main classes of parasites which can induce disease in humans include protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites.

Lichens are complex life forms which are a symbiotic relationship between two separate organisms, an alga, and a fungus. The fungus is dominant, which gives the majority of its characteristics to the other partner, from its thallus shape to its fruiting bodies.

Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic relationship between a plant and a fungus. The term mycorrhiza refers to the function of the fungus in the plant's root system or rhizosphere.
