In the heterotrophic mode of nutrition, organisms depend on others for the source of food as they cannot prepare their own food.

Heterotrophs include saprophytes (derive nutrition from the dead and decaying matter), parasites (live on other organisms’ bodies and derive food) and holozoic mode. 

Photoautotrophs can prepare their own food and hence they do not show the heterotrophic mode of nutrition.
