Autotroph

Autotroph [ Botany ]

Dictionary of botanic terminology - index of names


	In biology, an organism capable of synthesizing its own food (organic substances) from simple inorganic molecules by using light or chemical energy and does not require - like the animals - previously formed organic materials from the environment.

Most plants are autotrophs because they use photosynthesis to make their own energy.
