Something can't come from nothing. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be converted and transferred.
Producers are the only living organisms of earth that are able to convert sunlight to energy. If it was not at the bottom of the energy pyramid, the organisms below it would not exist because they were not getting energy from the producers.

Why do producers start every food chain?
Every food chain must start with a producer turning energy into food. You cannot have a food chain until food has been produced. This is usually done by plants with chlorophyll, using the rays of the sun for energy. Once the food has been produced, then you can have a food chain. You can list the consumers who eat the plants and then the ones who eat the plant eaters and then the ones who eat the meat eaters.
