a heterotroph
An organism that eats other organisms for energy are known as heterotrophs.
An organism that eats other organisms is called a consumer.
Carnivores obtain the nutrients by eating another animal.
Organisms that cannot synthesize their own food obtain it directly or indirectly from producers and are called heterotrophs ("other-feeders") or consumers-they acquire their energy and many of their nutrients prepackaged in the molecules that compose the bodies of other organisms.
The term that applies is heterotroph, an organism that does not make its own food and acquires nutrition in the form of organic molecules made by other organisms. (Organisms that do create their own food supply are called autotrophs.).

Anything that's not a producer or autotroph, which means it makes its own food. An organism that feeds on other organisms is a heterotroph, which could be a parasite, which feeds on dead organisms; a carnivore, which is a meat eater; or an herbivore, which feeds on plants.
An organism that cannot make its own food is called a consumer. Organisms that make their own food are called producers. Consumers must create energy from eating producers or other consumers.
For an organism to do photosynthesis the organism must have Chloroplast. The only organisms that can do photosynthesis are plants.
Carnivores obtain the nutrients by eating another animal.
Organisms that use sunlight are photosynthetic (like plants, algae, etc.) and organisms that must eat food are consumers (us, etc.).
An organism which cannot make its own food but instead absorb nutrition from decaying organisms is called a saprophyte. for example, fungi are saprophytic organisms.
Humans, like all animals, are heterotrophic. They can't synthesize their own food and have to eat other organisms to survive.

In order to see if all organisms get their food from sunlight, we must first see what an organism is. An organism is a living thing that dies if it is not nourished. The only organisms that get food from sunlight are plants. Fungi and animals gain nourishment from extensive root like systems and ingestion, respectively.
A heterotroph cannot produce its own food and must therefore consume other organisms to live. All animals and fungi are heterotrophs.
