Green plants are autotrophs. They prepare their own food with the help of sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, minerals and the green pigment chlorophyll. Plants which doesn't have chlorophyll doesn't have green colour. So, they cannot make their own food. These plants and animals are called heterotrophs as they directly or indirectly depend on green plants for food.
