if they are non-living they do not need to produce food. only living things need food
Saprophytes.
The most general answer is a consumer, which is then divided into carnivores (which eat other animals), herbivores (which eat plants) and detrivores (which eat non-living organic material).
Microorganisms such as algae and phytoplankton extract compounds from the ocean to use as food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. Some marine animals, like filter feeders, also consume these organisms to obtain their nutrients. By utilizing these natural processes, organisms can make their own food from compounds found in the ocean ecosystem.
The kingdom Fungi contains organisms that don't move and obtain food from other organisms, typically decaying matter or living organisms. These organisms are known as decomposers because they break down organic material to obtain nutrients. Examples include mushrooms, molds, and yeasts.
Organisms that secure food by eating other organisms are called consumers. They obtain nutrients by consuming other living organisms.
