Statement: 1 Mark
Explanation: 1 Mark

This statement is false.
Autotrophs only account for the green plants in the world. Since there are so many non-green plants in the world, it would be wrong to say that all plants are autotrophs.
Many plants like the pitcher plant and Venus flytrap are partly autotrophic and partly heterotrophic. Since they grow in nitrogen-deficient soil they trap and digest insects to meet their nitrogen requirements. Some plants alike Cuscuta are completely non-green and are parasitic in nature.
