autotrophs
I believe the answer you are looking for in your context is PRODUCER. The first organism in the food chain will be obviously autotrophic (as they 'Produce' their own food) and give energy when eaten/consumed, by the CONSUMER

something that only eats meat, is a carnivore
Something that eats both is an Omnivore.

In a food chain why are plants called producers and animals called consumers?
Plants (or at least most plants; there are some exceptions) do not eat any other organism; they create their own food out of water, air, minerals and sunlight. Whereas, all animals have to eat some other organism to survive. Some eat plants and some eat other animals, but every animal eats some kind of organism. So plants produce the food upon which all animals ultimately depend (because even if an animal eats other animals, the animals that it eats depend upon plants).
What are plants called in a food chain?
Plants are the producers in a food chain. They take in energy from the sunlight and convert it into things all other organisms (animals, humans, decomposers) need to grow and survive. Plants are the producers Herbivores (that eat the plant) are the Primary Consumers (1o) What eats the herbivore are the Secondary Consumers (2o) What eats that are the Terciary Consumers (3o) and so on...
Why do you need more plants than animals in the food pyramid?
Other than fungi, plants don't eat other plants so you need animals in the food chain. This includes herbivores to eat the plants. Carnivores to eat the herbivores. Omnivores eat both plants and animals.

What living things eat each other?
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.
