Answer:

Because volvox can photosynthesise

Step-by-step explanation:

Volvox is a multicellular algae. They grow in spherical colonies.

Its cells contain chloroplasts meaning it can photosynthesise. This means it can use light energy from the sun to synthesise its own food. Therefore, it doesn't need to capture food from the environment.
