There are two modes of nutrition:

• Autotrophic nutrition followed by plants.
• And heterotrophic nutrition.

The heterotrophic nutrition is divided into three types:

• Sacrophytism: The organism in this type gets food from dead and decaying organisms. Theybreak down the food outside the body and absorb it.
• Parasitism: In this type of nutrition organism gets food without killing the host organism.
• Holozoic: In this type of nutrition the organisms directly take the food inside, digest it and absorb the nutrients.

In the autotrophic nutrition photosynthesis process is the basic process that happens in plants to get nutrients.
