Detailed explanation-1: -Plants and algae are examples of producers. They are at the bottom of the food chain because they are eaten by other organisms, and they don’t need to eat for energy. Producers make their own food through the process of photosynthesis instead of eating organic matter.
Detailed explanation-2: -The food chain in an ecosystem helps to maintain the flow of energy by transferring it from one organism to another, it also aids in the passage of nutrients in the ecosystem and finally, it maintains the feeding relationships among living organisms, which supports the biodiversity of the ecosystem.
Detailed explanation-3: -Plants make their own food through a process called photosynthesis. Using the energy from the sun, water and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and nutrients, they chemically make their own food. Since they make or produce their own food they are called producers.
