Webster Dictionary(0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition: Saprophyte(noun) any plant growing on decayed animal or vegetable matter, as most fungi and some flowering plants with no green color, as the Indian pipe.
But there is no difference between the two. Saprobic is only the universal term for organisms who rely on dead and decaying matter, whether plants, animals, or lower lifeforms such as bacteria, protists, etc. No such difference regarding mode of nutrition, as far as I know. Hope I helped.
