Autotrophs (plants, algae, certain protists and cyanobacteria) all use solar energy (light energy from the sun) to get "food".

They go through a process called photosynthesis. Each of these organism contain a green coloured pigment called chlorophyll. This chlorophyll absorbs the light energy and then converts it into usable energy or as you call it, food (glucose - a sugar).

Photosynthesis:

carbon dioxide (air) + water (seeped in through the roots) + SOLAR ENERGY -> glucose (FOOD) + oxygen
