Organisms that can't make their own food are called heterotrophs. They rely on consuming other organisms for energy and nutrients. Examples include animals, fungi, and some types of bacteria.
Heterotrophs and autotrophs both rely on external sources for energy and nutrients. Heterotrophs obtain these from consuming other organisms, while autotrophs produce their own energy through processes like photosynthesis. Both types of organisms need external sources to survive and function.
Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own carbohydrates through photosynthesis and must consume other organisms for energy. They include animals, fungi, and some types of bacteria. By consuming other organisms, heterotrophs obtain the necessary nutrients and energy they need to survive.
heterotrophs
Heterotrophs are organisms that depend on other organisms for their source of food and nutrition
Heterotrophs
Decomposers are types of heterotrophs. They are not able to consume their own energy through photosynthesis. They get their energy from the remains of dead organisms.
either as detrivivores or decomposers

The answer is ......... Heterotroph!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heterotrophs :D
Prey are heterotrophs.
Heterotrophs (from Greek heteros = other or different, trophos = feeder) are organisms that are not able to make their own food. They must ingest or absorb food produced by other organisms. Therefore, the heterotrophs rely on other organisms for theirnutrition. Heterotrophic organisms include animals, fungi, and some single-celled protozoa (e.g., ameba, paramecia) and bacteria. While autotrophs make their own food by converting inorganic nutrients into organic forms, heterotrophs cannot do this. Heterotrophs require most nutrients in an already produced, organic form. They use these nutrients both as a source of energyand as building blocks to form cell and body parts. In a food web the heterotrophs are the consumers. There are many different types of heterotrophs in a food web, depending on what they consume.If they ingest autotrophs (producers), they are known as herbivores (primary consumers). Some heterotrophs eat other heterotrophs. These are the carnivores (secondary or higher level consumers). Predators, which capture live food, and scavengers, which eat already dead food, are two types of carnivores. Omnivores are heterotrophs that eat both autotrophs and other heterotrophs. Decomposers, which break down organic material into an inorganic form usable by plants, are also examples of heterotrophs. One hypothesis about the evolution of life on Earth states that the firstliving cells were heterotrophs. These primitive organisms absorbed or ingested simple organic molecules for use as energy and buildingblocks. When competition for these organic molecules increased, those organisms that could use alternative sources of energy, such as the sun or inorganic chemical reactions, to make their own organic molecules were better able to survive and reproduce. Thus, according to this hypothesis, autotrophs evolved from heterotrophs.
Humans are heterotrophs Plants are autotrophs
