Detailed explanation-1: -Plants absorb most of the energy that is incident on them, and out of all the energy absorbed, only 0.02 percent is utilized in photosynthesis to produce food, hence they are called producers. Green plants are involved in producing food for the consumers, serving as the primary producers of the ecosystem.
Detailed explanation-2: -Of all the organisms in an ecosystem, the most important role is played by decomposers. The nutrients are released back into the environment by the decomposition of dead organisms.
