No, autotrophs are organisms which can create their own food. An example of an autotroph is a plant. Plants produce food by the means of photosynthesis. Plants are at the bottom of trophic levels, and are food for all other organisms. Heterotrophs are organisms which do consume other organisms for food.
A rock is neither a consumer nor a producer in the context of ecological terms. In an ecosystem, consumers are organisms that consume other organisms for energy, while producers are organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. Rocks do not possess the ability to consume or produce food, as they are non-living, inanimate objects composed of minerals.
Organisms that eat other organisms are called heterotrops
Stentors are single-celled organisms that feed on bacteria and small particles by extending their cilia-lined mouth regions to create currents that draw in food. Once food is captured, it is engulfed by the stentor's cell membrane and digested in food vacuoles.
Organisms that cannot make their own food are called consumers, as they have to basically eat or feed off of other organisms in order to survive.

An organism that cannot create its own food and eats other organisms as a food source is called a heterotroph. This type of organism obtains nutrients and energy by consuming other living organisms or organic matter. Examples of heterotrophs include animals, fungi, and some types of bacteria.
No - producers are organisms that create their own food (such as plants). All animals are consumers, they must eat other organisms to obtain energy.

They absorb dead organisms as food
An animal, usually. A consumer is an organism that must eat other organisms to obtain its enrgy. Microscopic organisms can also be consumers. Plants and some microscopic organisms are producers, meaning they create their food from sunlight through photosynthesis.
Organisms that use sunlight are photosynthetic (like plants, algae, etc.) and organisms that must eat food are consumers (us, etc.).
