Heterotrophy refers to the mode of nutrition in which organisms obtain their energy and organic compounds by consuming other living or dead organisms. Unlike autotrophs, which produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis, heterotrophs rely on the intake of complex organic substances. This category includes animals, fungi, and many bacteria, which play crucial roles in ecosystems as consumers and decomposers.
