autotroph
An organism that makes its own food (e.g., plants)
An autotroph is an organism that is capable of synthesizing its own organic compounds from inorganic materials such as carbon dioxide and water using energy from a source such as sunlight through the process of photosynthesis. Autotrophs are able to sustain themselves without relying on other organisms for their nutritional needs, unlike heterotrophs, which feed on other organisms for their nutritional needs. Examples of autotrophs include plants, algae, and some bacteria. Autotrophs play an important role in the food chain by converting solar energy into chemical energy that can be used by other organisms through consumption.
