Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own food. Instead, they obtain energy and nutrients by consuming other organisms, either living or dead.

Here's a breakdown of what that means:

* Autotrophs (like plants) make their own food through photosynthesis.

* Heterotrophs rely on consuming other organisms for their energy and nutrients.

Here are some examples of heterotrophs:

* Animals

* Fungi

* Bacteria

* Protists (like amoebas)
