2. Autotroph

This a picture of a plant. A plant is an example of an autotroph. An autotroph, also known as a producer, is an organism that synthesizes its own food from inorganic substances through the use of light or chemical energy. The prefix auto means "self ", and the root troph means "one who feeds" thus an autotroph is one that self feeds or makes its own food through chemical processes.
