An organism that obtains its energy from nonliving organic matter is called a producer. Producers create their own energy and don't eat other organisms.

no. -heterotrophs (including heterotrophic bacteria) are consumers, an organism that obtains energy from organic matter. all animals are heterotrophs.
A heterotrophic absorber is an organism that obtains organic nutrients by absorbing dissolved organic matter directly from its environment. These organisms do not produce their own food through photosynthesis like autotrophic organisms. Instead, they rely on external sources of organic material for energy and nutrients.
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.
The process by which an organism obtains food is called feeding or nutrition. It involves the ingestion, digestion, absorption, and assimilation of nutrients from the food source to meet the organism's energy and growth requirements.

an organism that obtains its energy from the oxidation of inorganic compounds
heterotroph
It uses it to carry out cellular functions.
The term is "trophic level" and it describes an organism's position in a food chain or food web based on its energy source and how it obtains energy.
Heterotrophs
An organism that obtains energy by feeding on other organisms is called a consumer or a heterotroph.
