What is an organism that obtains energy from the food it condumes?

An organism that obtains energy from the food it consumes is known as a heterotroph. Heterotrophs include animals, fungi, and many bacteria, which rely on consuming organic matter for energy and nutrients. They break down complex food substances through digestion to release energy for their metabolic processes. In contrast to autotrophs, which produce their own energy through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, heterotrophs depend on other organisms for sustenance.
