Autotrophic

Autotrophic is a big word that means "self-feeding." Just like how you eat food to get energy, some living things can make their own food inside their bodies without needing to hunt or eat other things.

These special living things are called autotrophs. They have a special skill called photosynthesis. It's like magic! They use the power of the sun to turn water and carbon dioxide into food energy (sugar) that they can use to survive.

So basically, an autotroph is a living thing that can make its own food without needing to rely on other things to eat. They are like kings and queens of self-sufficiency!
