Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own food and rely on consuming other organisms—plants, animals, or organic matter—for energy and nutrients. This group includes animals, fungi, and many bacteria and protists. Unlike autotrophs, which synthesize their own food through processes like photosynthesis, heterotrophs play a crucial role in ecosystems by breaking down organic material and recycling nutrients.
