Detailed explanation-1: -Producers, also known as autotrophs, make their own food. They make up the first level of every food chain. Autotrophs are usually plants or one-celled organisms. Nearly all autotrophs use a process called photosynthesis to create “food” (a nutrient called glucose) from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Producers are important because they convert solar energy into chemical energy that can be used by other organisms. As producers are the first level in a food system, they provide energy for the entire food chain.
Detailed explanation-3: -Final Answer: Green plants of an ecosystem are called producers.
Detailed explanation-4: -Green plants use sunlight and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to produce carbohydrates by the process of photosynthesis. Since, plants produce food for themselves, they are known as producers.
