What is the major role of organisms in an ecosystem?

Answer 1

All of the organisms within an ecosystem have different roles. These roles are called niches. Organisms can have more than one niche and knowing the niches of an organism can help to explain why they act and interact the way they do. To determine an organism's niche, you need to identify what it eats, where it lives, and how it interacts with the other organisms in the ecosystem.

Niches include:

Producers - produce food energy for themselves and others

Consumers - consume the food made by the producers

Herbivores - eat producers (plant eating niche)

Carnivores - eat other consumers (meat eating niche) Predators eat prey

Omnivores - eat both producers and consumers

Answer 2

Different organisms play different roles.

There are producers, which are plants and some protists. There are consumers, which are most of the rest of the organisms. There are even decomposers that cause dead matter to decay.
