What does the root troph mean?

The root "troph" comes from the Greek word "τροφή" (trophē) which means "nourishment" or "food".

It is often used in scientific terms related to nutrition and growth, such as:

* Autotroph: An organism that produces its own food through photosynthesis (like plants).

* Heterotroph: An organism that gets its nourishment by consuming other organisms (like animals).

* Trophic level: The position of an organism in a food chain, based on its dietary habits.

So, whenever you see "troph" in a word, think of nourishment or feeding.
