Best Answer

All animals are part of one or more food chains and the food chain starts with plants. Many of the very smallest animals eat plants, but most larger animals eat other animals. The bigger animals eat smaller ones. That is the chain. And that makes the smallest animals most important because they cause the chain to progress.

Which organisms is most likely to be found at the beginning of a food chain?

Every food chain necessarily begins with an organism that doesn't eat any other organism (if it did eat another organism, it would not be the beginning of the food chain) which is technically known as an autotroph. We are generally familiar with organisms that conduct photosynthesis, although that is not the only kind of autotroph; there are also bacteria which metabolize minerals coming from underwater vents, which live symbiotically in vent worms.
