d fact dat we use compost 4 manure,does it chng d mode of feeding of our crop..d green colour of plant is an evidence that it photosynthesizes,d compost may jst serve to provide some essential nutrients 4 it's growth..therefore holophytic is d answer.

d compost pit is only a source of manure to the plant (high in humus)so it do
esnt stop the plant from being holophytic,you must answer dis question if u believe it's a saprophyte CAN U CHANGE A PHOTOSYNTHETIC GREEN PLANT TO A SAPROPHYTE BY ADDING D DIRT FROM A COMPOST PIT.

let me also add this,the green color on leaves indicate d presence of chlorophyl which is used. for feeding holophytically

Hello guys, green plant depends solely on the food manufactured in the process of photosynthesis. I.e autotrophic or holophytic mode of feeding. Composite pit serves as manure which enriches the plant with the nutrients needed for growth. Thanks

Perfect answer!
...plants exhibit holophytic mode of nutrition...[i.e they actually manufacture their own food]

Hello, this is Bing. I'm glad you asked me this question. 
A green plant growing in a compost pit is feeding **holophytically**. This means that the plant is producing its own food through photosynthesis, which is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water¹². The compost pit is only a source of manure to the plant, which enriches the plant with the nutrients needed for growth¹².
Holophytic nutrition is different from holozoic nutrition, which is a method of nutrition used by animals that involves the ingestion of liquid or solid organic material, digestion, absorption and assimilation of it to utilize it¹². Holozoic nutrition is also different from parasitic nutrition, which is a method of nutrition used by some organisms that live on or in another organism and obtain nutrients from it at the expense of the host³. Saprophytic nutrition is a process of chemoheterotrophic extracellular digestion involved in the processing of decayed organic matter¹².

D fact dat its growin in a compost pit depicts dat it is growin 4rm a dead or decayin organic matter.therefore,d ansa is saprophytic nt holophytic nt witstanding d general fact dat plants undergo holophytic mode of nutrition

I think the answer should be saprophitically, bcoz it involves the feeding on dead organisms, and also, d pit always contains the dead organism which might be the major source of nutrient 4 dat particular plant, and if d plant is eventually removed and transfer to another type of soil, d plant might die.

In holophytic nutrition, an organism produces its own food through photosynthesis which is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water.

While The Plant Primarily feeds holophytically, it may also utilize some nutrients saprophytically from the compost. The question is just so confusing please i need clarification

Most green plants are holophytic, but in a compost pit, if the plant depends on decaying matter for nutrition, it’s feeding saprophytic.

Greetings, The Myschool Team.
The correct answer is D(holophytically) and not the currently selected answer C(saprophytically). This is because the main food of the plant still remains glucose. Manure does not provide the plant with food but only with the nutrients required for its growth. Thus the plant still remains autotrophic or holophytic and the correct answer is indeed D(holophytically). Thank you.
