Best Answer

Organisms that synthesize their own organic compounds from inorganic ones are called autotrophs.

The phenomenon is autotrophy; green plants and some other organisms perform it by photosynthesis, while some prokaryotes perform chemosynthesis, synthesizing organic substances using energy not from light but from inorganic chemical reactions.

When discussing ecosystems, autotrophs are called producers.
