Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Another major difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs is that autotrophs have an important pigment called chlorophyll, which enables them to capture the energy of sunlight during photosynthesis, whereas heterotrophs do not. Without this pigment, photosynthesis could not occur.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants generally make their own food through the process of photosynthesis. These plants are called autotrophs (self-feeding). However, some species have taken a different route for nourishment. These plants, called heterotrophs (other feeding), lack chlorophyll and cannot make their own food.
