Why do some plants stop photosynthesizing as winter approaches?

Only the green parts of a plant photosynthesize. In fall and winter, there is much less area that photosynthesizes in trees with leaves... the green stems and branches do photosynthesize a slight amount. Evergreen trees, like pines and spruce, do not lose their leaves called needles but when the cold weather comes all biological processes slow down and so does the amount of photosynthesis.

A heterotroph ('eating others'). This can mean the consumption of animals or plants (as both are organisms), and makes all animals, some plants (carnivorous or parasitic) and all fungi heterotrophs. 'Regular' photosynthesizing plants 'feed' off sunlight, making them autotrophs ('eating independently').
