Answer:

because

Plants absorb direct sunlight which is a primary source and make their food with the help of photosynthesis and hence they are also called as autotrophic.

Animals do not have the ability to consume their food through sunlight,they depend upon plants or other sources for their food and hence they are also called heterotrophic.
