- Self-sustainability and self-sufficiency are overlapping states of being in which a person or an organization needs little or no help from, or interaction with, others. Self-sufficiency entails the self being enough (to fulfill needs), and a self-sustaining entity can maintain self-sufficiency indefinitely. These states represent types of personal or collective autonomy.[1] A self-sufficient economy is one that requires little or no trade with the outside world and is called an autarky.

- A self-sufficient organism is an organism that can survive and reproduce independently without relying on other organisms for its essential needs, such as energy, food, and other resources. These organisms are often autotrophic, meaning they can produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis (in plants) or chemosynthesis (in certain bacteria). By synthesizing their own organic compounds from inorganic sources, self-sufficient organisms can sustain themselves without relying on external sources of energy or nutrients.
However, it's important to note that no organism is entirely self-sufficient, as all living things are interconnected and rely on other organisms or their environment for at least some of their needs. For example, even autotrophic organisms need certain minerals, water, and gases from their environment to carry out essential processes.

- Biologically, an adult is a human being or other organism that has reached sexual maturity. In human context, the term adult additionally has meanings associated with social and legal concepts. In contrast to a “minor", a legal adult is a person who has attained the age of majority and is therefore regarded as independent, self-sufficient, and responsible.
