Fungi obtain food through a process called absorption. They secrete enzymes into their environment to break down complex organic materials into simpler compounds, which they then absorb through their cell walls. This allows them to decompose a wide variety of substances, including dead organic matter, making them essential for nutrient cycling in ecosystems. Fungi can be saprophytic, parasitic, or mutualistic, depending on their food sources.
