Final answer:

An autotroph is an organism that can create its own food using energy from the sun or inorganic substances through photosynthesis.


Step-by-step explanation:

An autotroph is an organism that has the ability to create its own food using energy from the sun (or from inorganic substances) through a process called photosynthesis. They convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose, which can be used as a source of energy. Examples of autotrophs include plants, algae, and some bacteria.
