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: -Autotroph Examples Examples of photoautotrophs are land plants (e.g. dicots, grass, gymnosperms, bryophytes, ferns, etc.), lichen, photosynthetic algae (e.g. chlorophytes, charophytes, dinoflagellates, diatoms, etc.), photosynthetic bacteria (e.g. cyanobacteria), and other plant-like plankton groups.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria are autotrophs that use light energy from the Sun to convert carbon dioxide and water to the organic molecule glucose. This process, which releases oxygen as a by-product, is called photosynthesis.
