The answer is: heterotrophs.

Explanation:

  • Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food from inorganic substances, typically through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. Plants are mainly autotrophs because they use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
  • Fungi, on the other hand, are heterotrophs. This means they cannot produce their own food and must obtain nutrients by consuming organic matter. Fungi achieve this by decomposing and absorbing nutrients from dead or decaying organic material, making them important decomposers in ecosystems.
