It is easy to mistake an Earthworm as an autotroph (an organism that synthesizes its own energy from inorganic sources) because it consumes soil and dirt. However, soil actually contains organic matter. By definition, a heterotroph is an organism that consumes organic matter for energy. An earthworm is therefore a heterotroph, not an autotroph.
