It means they make their own food. Like, auto- is the greek work for self. For example, a tree is autotrophic, whereas a badger is heterotrophic, meaning it depends on other organisms for food. Humans are heterotrophs. Grass is autotropic. Get it?

If an organism is autotrophic, it means that it can produce its own food using inorganic substances like carbon dioxide and sunlight through processes like photosynthesis. Autotrophic organisms are self-sustaining in terms of energy production and do not need to consume other organisms for nutrition.
