Detailed explanation-1: -A heterotroph is an organism that eats other plants or animals for energy and nutrients. The term stems from the Greek words hetero for “other” and trophe for “nourishment.” Organisms are characterized into two broad categories based upon how they obtain their energy and nutrients: autotrophs and heterotrophs.

Detailed explanation-2: -The next trophic levels are made up of animals that eat producers. These organisms are called consumers. Consumers can be carnivores (animals that eat other animals) or omnivores (animals that eat both plants and animals).
