Living things have different types of food habits.

• Some living organisms like plants can prepare their own food by the process of photosynthesis. They are known as autotrophs.
• Some living organisms cannot prepare their own food and depend upon plants for their nutrition. They are herbivores like cow, goat, sheep, horse etc.
• Living organisms like tiger, lion, cheetah, jackal etc kill other animals and eat them up as food. They are carnivores.
• We human beings eat both plants and animals as food. We are omnivores.
• Some organisms like fungi feed on dead and decaying matters and obtain nutrition from them. They are saprotrophs.
• Parasites are another type of organisms that live on other organisms without killing them.
