i think you mean autotroph.

it means an organism that makes its own food. a plant would be autotrophic because it uses photosynthesis to create sugars to supplement itself. on the otherhand, humans feed off of plants and animals; we don't have the ability to make our own food within ourselves. humans and other animals are heterotrophs.
