The term for organisms that cannot directly capture the energy and make their own food is heterotroph.

Here's a breakdown:

* Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis (using sunlight) or chemosynthesis (using chemicals).

* Heterotrophs rely on consuming other organisms (plants, animals, or decaying organic matter) to obtain their energy and nutrients.

Examples of heterotrophs include:

* Animals

* Fungi

* Most bacteria

* Some protists
