plants are autotrophic can you think of some plants are hetrotrophic
The most common groups of plants that do this are some orchids and monotropes, which are a sub-group of the Heath family, Ericaceae. Ericaceae is a well known and diverse family including blueberries, rhododendrons, wintergreen and many others, which are quite different from the monotropes to the degree that some taxonomic treatments separate them out in their own family, Monotropaceae.
