Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

All animals, protozoans, fungi, and most bacteria are heterotrophs. Since Caterpillar Fungus belongs to the Ascomycota phylum , specifically in the genus Hypocreale, it is a heterotroph. Like all living things, they need food to provide their cells with energy.
