Holophytic nutrition is the other name for:

This type of nutrition is primarily seen in plants, algae, and some bacteria, which are known as autotrophs. They possess the ability to convert inorganic substances into organic compounds through the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants absorb sunlight through their chlorophyll, which enables them to transform carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil into glucose, a form of sugar that serves as their energy source. As autotrophs, these organisms do not rely on other organisms for food and play a critical role in sustaining the food chain by providing energy for heterotrophic organisms. This process not only supports the growth of the plant itself but also generates oxygen as a byproduct, which is essential for life on Earth.
