Ectotherm

Organisms that rely on ("ect") outside sources for ("therm") heat supply.

A heater is a good representation of ectotherm as it provides heat to organisms that can't produce their own heat. Reptiles, such as lizards and snakes, are prime examples of ectotherms as they depend on the sun or a heat lamp to provide warmth to their body.
