An autotroph is an organism that can reproduce its own food out of inorganic materials such as light and chemical energy. There are two types of autotrophs. One is the photoautotrophs and the other is the chemoautotrophs. A perfect example of an autotroph through a photoautotroph is a flower. Photoautotrophs get their energy from sunlight and transform it into sugar through a process called photosynthesis, just like some plants are able to do.
