No, whale sharks are not autotrophs; they are filter-feeding heterotrophs. Autotrophs, like plants, produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. In contrast, whale sharks feed primarily on plankton, small fish, and other organic matter by filtering them from the water. This means they rely on other organisms for their energy and nutrients.
