Detailed explanation-1: -An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. Because autotrophs produce their own food, they are sometimes called producers. Plants are the most familiar type of autotroph, but there are many different kinds of autotrophic organisms.

Detailed explanation-2: -They make it themselves! Plants are called autotrophs because they can use energy from light to synthesize, or make, their own food source.

Detailed explanation-3: -Autotrophs are those organisms that are able to make energy-containing organic molecules from inorganic raw material by using basic energy sources such as sunlight.

Detailed explanation-4: -Autotrophs are organisms that make their own food. Most autotrophs use the energy in sunlight to make food in a process called photosynthesis. Only three types of organisms-plants, algae, and some bacteria-can make food through photosynthesis. Autotrophs are also called producers.
