Detailed explanation-1: -Plants are known as producers because they prepare their food themselves by the process of photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Since, plants produce food for themselves, they are known as producers.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Producers are any kind of green plant. Green plants make their food by taking sunlight and using the energy to make sugar. The plant uses this sugar, also called glucose to make many things, such as wood, leaves, roots, and bark. Trees, such as they mighty Oak, and the grand American Beech, are examples of producers.
