They are the first organisms in the aquatic food chain.
To answer this question, we must first consider - What is the meaning of ecological balance? Ecological Balance is a state of dynamic equilibrium within a community of organisms in which genetic, species and ecosystem diversity remain relatively stable, subject to gradual changes through natural succession. It can also be referred to as 'a stable balance in the numbers of each species in an ecosystem'. In simple words, it is what keeps nature in harmony. Whatever is taken from the environment must be given back to it. In fact, phenomena like global warming, acid rain and pollution happen because the element taken from the environment is used up without replenishing it. If the ecological balance is disturbed, there can be drastic consequences, some of which are already happening
Having a variety of organisms in a community is important for several reasons. First, it ensures the stability and resilience of the ecosystem, as different organisms play diverse ecological roles and provide various services like nutrient cycling and pollination. Second, a diverse community enhances ecosystem productivity as each species has unique adaptations and capabilities. Lastly, biodiversity also contributes to human well-being through provisioning of resources like food, medicine, and materials.
Observation is generally the very first step in asking ecological questions. Observations may be the first step in designing experiments and models.

Multicellular organisms first appeared during the Vendian period.

Scientists believe that animals evolved from single-celled organisms in the oceans around 600 million years ago, making them the first to appear. Plants, on the other hand, evolved from ancient algae and appeared on land around 450 million years ago.

Ecological succession is the phenomenon or process by which an ecological community undergoes more or less orderly and predictable changes following disturbance or initial colonization of new habitat. Succession was among the first theories advanced in ecology and the study of succession remains at the core of ecological science

Cyanobacteria are the first to appear in the fossil record.
An ecological pyramid is simply a graphical representation of the relationship at each trophic level in a particular ecosystem. There are three types of ecological pyramids: of numbers, of energy, and of biomass. For example the pyramid of numbers is a representation of the number of organisms in each trophic level, with herbivores at the bottom as primary consumers, followed by first level carnivores and so on.
