Yeast & molds are saprotrophic organisms, meaning that they feed on dead, decaying organic matter. They are capable of producing a wide variety of enzymes like cellulases, pectinases which would act on plant & animal matter and decompose them. Therefore, yeast & molds are important natural decomposers in the environment.
