No, a heterotroph is an organism that cannot produce its own food and must obtain nutrients from other sources. They rely on consuming other organisms or organic matter for energy.
The term used to describe a self-feeder is "autotroph." Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food using energy from sunlight through photosynthesis or from inorganic compounds through chemosynthesis.
A grasshopper is a heterotroph.
Heterotroph
An autotroph (self + feeding) is an organism that makes it own food using light energy or chemosynthesis. Examples are plants and algae.A heterotroph (different + feeding) uses organic (living) carbon for growth. Examples are animals, fungi and bacteria.A fish is an animal and does not make its own food, so it is a heterotroph.
heterotroph
If an organism is a "self-feeder" It's scientific word would be autotroph the opposite is an organism that gets it's food from other sources would be a heterotroph
self
It is an Autotroph. )))
They do obtain some of their food through filtering, but because they mainly manufacture energy through photosynthesis, they are autotrophs.

"Auto" means "self". So self food producers are called autotrophs. Autotrophs include plants and some bacteria. So, a bison, not being a plant or bacteria, is a heterotroph because it cannot produce its own food.
