No all plants are not autotrophic in nature. The plants which have chlorophyll are autotrophic but some plants have less amount of chlorophyll so they can't prepare their own food. Hence they get food from other host plant and in return it causes harm to it. They are called PARASITIC PLANTS. Ex: dodder. Some plants are carnivores in nature. They eat insects, and some animals. They are found in areas with nitrogen deficiency. Ex: Venus flytrap.

No, I don't agree that all plants are autotrophic in nature.
For example:-
PARASITES- They are plants that are heterotrophic and depend on the host plant for its food. Eg. Cuscuta, Mistletoe.
______________________________________________
INSECTIVOROUS PLANTS- They are heterotrophic plants that supplement their nutrition from trapping and digesting animals, particularly insects. Eg. Sundew, Venus fly trap.
