Here's why:
* Hetero means "other" or "different"
* Troph refers to "nourishment" or "feeding"
So, a heterotroph literally means "other-feeder".
Examples of heterotrophs include:
* Animals
* Fungi
* Most bacteria
In contrast, autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis (using sunlight) or chemosynthesis (using chemicals).
