No, heterotrophs are not known as producers; they are organisms that obtain their energy and nutrients by consuming other organisms. In contrast, autotrophs, such as plants and some bacteria, are referred to as producers because they can synthesize their own food using sunlight or inorganic substances. Heterotrophs include animals, fungi, and many bacteria that rely on organic matter for sustenance.
