This depends on what microorganism. Some microorganisms, like microscopic plants and some bacteria, are autotrophic (specifically phototrophic), meaning they create their own energy using (mainly) water and sunlight. Other microorganisms, like some bacteria and fungi, are heterotrophic, meaining they consume other organisms to get their energy.
