Here's a breakdown:

* Hetero means "other" or "different".

* Troph refers to "nourishment" or "feeding".

So, a heterotroph is an organism that gets its nourishment by consuming other organisms or organic matter. This is in contrast to autotrophs, which produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.

Examples of heterotrophs include:

* Animals: Lions, birds, humans, etc.

* Fungi: Mushrooms, molds, yeasts.

* Bacteria: Some bacteria decompose dead organisms.
