Because they make their own food
Plants that make their own food are called autotrophs, producers or primary producers.
All living things depend on green plants for food because they are producers. They are the only organisms that are able to make their own food.
Herbivores only eat producers (green plants). In the food chain, only plants are considered producers. Animals are classified as primary, secondary and tertiary consumers, depending on their feeding habits.
The only tings on the planet that are PRODUCERS are plants. ALL green plants are PRODUCERS.
Producers are plants. And plants make there own food going through the process of photosynthesis. The bi-product comes out to be glucose and oxygen. The glucose is plant food. So anyways, food producers are plants because plants are the only organisms that can make their own food!
No animals are producers. Only plants and certain protists are producers.
Producers are organisms that can make their own food. Consumers are organisms that eat other organisms for food. By and large, it is ONLY the plants that are producers (they make food by harvesting the energy of sunlight). As trees and grass are both plants then they are producers.
YES because only plants can make food. Therefore, all plants are producers and also all producers are plants. Think about it, amoebas aren't producers or plants, deer aren't producers or plants, fish aren't producers or plants. ALL THINGS COME FROM THE SUN AND THE SUN GOES TO PLANTS!
Plants are usually the only organisms in a habitat in which photosynthesis can occur. For this reason, green plants are known as producers. Grass, trees, plankton and seaweed are all examples of producers.
A producer on the foodchain is something that starts the food chain off For example Grass Lettuce but the sun starts it all off because it helps grass and/or letuce grow
Producers are only plants. Producers produce food. Some examples of producers are: Trees, bushes, fruits, vegetables and MUCH more!
Human body is not making food. only plants making food.
