The ultimate source is the sun. Plants use the sun to grow and animals feed on plants or other animals that feed on plants for sustenance.
it can only feed at dead living things such as dead animals and plants
One of the defining characteristics that distinguishes animals from plants is that all animals feed either directly or indirectly on other living things.
Animals which eat plants (which are also living things) are called herbivores. Animals which feed mainly on other animals are termed carnivores. Some animals specialise in eating insects and they are termed insectivores and animals which have a mixed diet that can include meat and plants are called omnivores. There are also some plants which can ingest small mammals, birds or insects, these are usually referred to as insectivorous or carnivorous plants.

They provide CO2 for plant respiration. Their corpses provide nutrients for decomposers and plants. They feed on/provide food for other species of animals.
A living thing that eats other living things is a heterotroph. Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own food and rely on consuming other organisms for energy. This contrasts with autotrophs, which can produce their own food through processes like photosynthesis. Examples of heterotrophs include animals, fungi, and some types of bacteria.
Plants feed animals, animals fertilize plants.
Mice are also considered consumers because they also feed off of other living organisms and plants in order to survive.Producers are things such as plants and trees,things that feed off of Earth's soils and nutrients that provide food for other living organisms.
Plants source of energy as they absorb sunlight and to photosynthesis also it make food for other living things like animals to feed on them. Add me on facebook to know more:KennyHe Sihao Slashyou
