Primary producers, or autotrophs, or plants are not mentioned in the food web, because they only serve as food, but they do not eat other heterotrophs, with the exception of Insectivorous plants. To be counted as a part of the food web, an organism has to eat, and also be eaten ; if the reader understands what I mean .
