all organisms that make its own food such as plants
Primary producers
If you have a food chain then the chain must have a beginning (where the food is made) and an end (where the food is finally all used up). Thius in a food chain the "producers" of the food (the plants) are ALWAYS the start. The plants make food using CO2 from the air, Water from the ground and the energy they collect from Sunlight. It is the passing on of this energy from the Sun that is the chain.
PRODUCERS
No. Producers always make up the first trophic level in a food web or chain.

Plants make up the majority of production in terrestrial ecosystems.
The "green stuff" is the photosynthesizing part of the area. They are primary producers and make up the base of the food chain. If they are gone, pretty much everything above them on the food chain will have trouble surviving
The number of links in a food chain is limited by the amount of available energy. As energy is transferred up the food chain, only about 10% is passed on to the next level. This inefficiency limits the number of trophic levels that can be sustained in a food chain.
A producer in a food chain on land is an organism, usually a plant, that produces its own food through photosynthesis. Producers form the base of the food chain by converting sunlight into energy, which is then consumed by herbivores and other organisms higher up in the food chain. Examples of land producers include grass, trees, and shrubs.
All food chains begin with a producer, typically a plant or algae that can photosynthesize and produce its own food. These producers form the basis of the food chain by converting sunlight into energy that is then consumed by organisms higher up the chain.
