Solution
The term that is used for the mode of nutrition in yeast, mushroom and bread-mould is saprophytic.
Explanation:
Bread mould, yeast and mushroom are all fungi that derive their food from non-living organic matter. They secrete digestive juices on organic matter which aid in its extracellular digestion and convert it into soluble form. Then they absorb this simplified soluble form of food through their body. This method of getting nutrients in the form of the simple soluble form (liquid) is known as saprophytic nutrition.
