Answer:

Heterotroph

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, According to what I understand, the term is heterotroph, not hetrotrop [Tropism is concerned with how organisms react to a certain stimulus]

The word "heterotrophy" refers to organisms that do not synthesis their food or carbohydrates in the presence of photosynthetic pigment using CO2, water, or solar energy. With the exception of Euglena, they cannot synthesis their food or carbohydrates (it is unicellular and contains photosynthetic pigment). Carnivores, herbivores, etc. are heterotrophs.
