Heterotrophs obtain food through the process of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-1: -A major difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs is that the former are able to make their own food by photosynthesis whereas the latter cannot. Photosynthesis is a process that involves making glucose (a sugar) and oxygen from water and carbon dioxide using energy from sunlight.
Detailed explanation-2: -heterotroph, in ecology, an organism that consumes other organisms in a food chain. In contrast to autotrophs, heterotrophs are unable to produce organic substances from inorganic ones. They must rely on an organic source of carbon that has originated as part of another living organism.
Detailed explanation-3: -“Autotrophs are organisms that prepare their own food through the process of photosynthesis, whereas heterotrophs are organisms that cannot prepare their own food and depend upon autotrophs for nutrition.”
Detailed explanation-4: -Heterotrophs depend on autotrophs for their food.
