👉 The term "chemotroph" refers to an organism that receives nutrients from a nutrient-rich environment. In other words, it is an organism that grows and reproduces in response to the presence of chemicals or other substances that stimulate its growth or reproduction. This type of organism is often found in ecosystems where there are abundant sources of nutrients, such as soil, water, and sunlight. Chemotrophs play a crucial role in nutrient cycling and can be important for maintaining the balance of ecosystems.
