Solution

No, all plants are not autotrophic. Some of the non-green plants such as dodder plants obtain their food from other plants and these plants are heterotrophic plants. Heterophic plants generally do not possess chlorophyll, which inhibits their ability to prepare their own food. Consequently, such plants are not autotrophic.
