GPT-4o mini
A meat eater that consumes autotrophs—organisms that produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis or chemosynthesis—can be described as an **omnivore**. Specifically, if this type of omnivore also primarily includes plants (which are autotrophs) in its diet along with meat, it may be called a **herbivorous omnivore** or simply an **omnivore**.
In ecological terms, animals that eat autotrophs are often part of the food chain where they rely on autotrophs (like plants) as a source of energy, while also consuming other animals.
Examples of such organisms include pigs, bears, and humans, as they can consume both plant-based foods (autotrophs) and animal-based foods (meat).
