An organism that uses energy from the sun to produce its own food, like plants
Real World Example
Imagine you're trying to save money by cooking at home instead of eating out. Just like you gather ingredients and use your stove to create a meal, plants collect sunlight and use it to synthesize their own food through photosynthesis. In this analogy, the sun is like your reliable stove providing energy, and the ingredients you gather are like the water and carbon dioxide plants use, making the plants their own chefs, crafting sustenance without needing to "eat out" by consuming other organisms.
