Answer:

All plants make their own food with exception of the saprophytic plants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Saprophytic plants for example fungi and moulds feed on dead decaying matter.

Non-green plants cannot make their own food because they do not have chlorophyll in their leaves which breaks down carbon dioxide and water molecules thus do not produce glucose(food).

hope this helps
