Other organisms, called heterotrophs, take inautotrophs as food to carry out functions necessary for their life. Thus, heterotrophs — all animals, almost all fungi, as well as most bacteria and protozoa — depend onautotrophs, or primary producers, for the energy and raw materials they need.

No, not at all

Autotrophics are the group of living beings which are able to produce their own food. Plants use light or chemical energy to produce food and known as producers in food chain.

Humans are hetertrophs i.e. consumers. All the heterotrophic species either eat or absorb the food and not able to produce ,hence called consumers.
