Mosses are an example of autotrophs.

Here's why:

1. Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food from the substances available in their surroundings using light (photosynthesis) or chemical energy (chemosynthesis).

2. Mosses are small, green, land plants that are classified in the division Bryophyta. They are capable of photosynthesis, a process where they convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy in the form of glucose (or food).

3. Therefore, since mosses produce their own food through photosynthesis, they are considered autotrophs.

The other options are not correct because:

• Primary consumers are organisms that eat primary producers; they are also called herbivores (plant-eaters).
• Detritivores are organisms that eat detritus or dead organic material.
• Decomposers are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms, and in doing so carry out the natural process of decomposition.
• Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own food, instead taking nutrition from other sources of organic carbon, mainly plant or animal matter.

Mosses do not fit into these categories.
