Autotrophs are living things that make their own food from light or inorganic compounds, like plants on land or algae in water. "Auto" means self. "Troph" refers to nutrition or feeding.
Heterotrophs are living things that need to consume the energy that autotrophs make, like all animal and most bacteria and fungi. "Hetero" means "other"
Remember your Greek and Latin roots and you can figure out the meanings of lots of words.
Hope that helps.
