In 1 of 2 basic ways:

1) by digesting the materials or,

2) by producing them.

Digesting the materials can be in the form of eating other organisms (like animals do), or by growing on other organisms (like fungi do).

Plants also have the ability of producing the materials themselves. This is called photosynthesis.

Plants obtain nutrients through photosynthesis by using sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugars. Fungi absorb nutrients from their surroundings through their mycelium, which can decompose organic matter or form partnerships with plants. Animals obtain nutrients by ingesting organic matter or other organisms for their energy and nutrient needs.


What is a hetererotroph?

Maybe, it should be "heterotroph"? Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot synthesis their own nutrients but they obtain the essential nutrients from other organisms by consuming them.
