Is corn a autotroph

Answer 1

Yes corn is an autotrophic plant. Autotrophic organisms are able to produce their own food using light energy from the sun water and carbon dioxide. Corn is an example of an autotrophic organism because it can make its own food from these sources. It does so by using a process called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis corn takes in carbon dioxide and water and uses the energy of the sun in order to produce glucose which it uses as a source of energy.
