I’m learning about ecosystems and food chains. Can someone explain what producers are and give a few common examples from nature?

 
Producers are organisms that make their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. Examples include green plants like grass, trees, and algae. Phytoplankton in oceans are also major producers. These organisms form the base of the food chain, providing energy for consumers such as herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores in ecosystems.
