On this planet, they do, either directly or indirectly.
No, not all organisms acquire energy directly from sunlight. Primary producers such as plants and some types of bacteria use sunlight to perform photosynthesis and produce their own energy. However, other organisms, such as animals and fungi, acquire energy indirectly by consuming these primary producers or other organisms in the food chain.

Consumers are heterotrophs and do not get their energy directly, but by eating organisms that do, or by eating other consumers. Herbivores are primary consumers, predators are secondary or higher. Detrivores consume the dead matter left by either producers, or consumers, or both.
By providing an energy source for them. The majority of heterotrophic organisms get their energy by eating photosynthetic organisms or indirectly, by eating things which themselves eat photosynthetic organisms.

Living things can get energy from the sun directly through photosynthesis, where plants and some microorganisms convert sunlight into chemical energy. Indirectly, organisms can obtain sun-derived energy by consuming other organisms that have stored this energy through the food chain. This energy transfer sustains all life on Earth.
Plants get their energy indirectly from the sun through photosynthesis. They use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, which is used as a source of energy for the plant. Other organisms then obtain energy by consuming plants or other organisms that have consumed plants.
Other forms of energy, directly or indirectly
Directly... A Zebra obtains energy directly because it is a producer.
Indirectly, via eating plants.
