All plants make their own food. It's one of the unique things about plants. But I think the word you're looking for here is autotroph. An autotroph is not necessarily a plant, it can be bacteria or protozoa too. What's special about autotrophs is that they make their own food: they can make organic compounds from simple inorganic ones using light energy.

Autotrophs can be phototrophs or lithotrophs (chemoautotrophs). Phototrophs use light as an energy source, while lithotrophs oxidize inorganic compounds, such as hydrogen sulfide, elemental sulfur, ammonium and ferrous iron.

All plants make their own food. That's why all plants are considered to be producers, not consumers, in the natural food chain.
