Why are the animals and humans called hetrotrophs?

Animals and humans are called heterotrophs because they cannot produce their own food and instead rely on consuming other organisms for energy and nutrients. Heterotrophs obtain organic compounds by eating plants, animals, or decomposed matter. This distinguishes them from autotrophs, like plants, which can synthesize their own food through photosynthesis. Essentially, heterotrophs play a vital role in the ecosystem by participating in food chains and energy transfer.
