Yes; they make their own food, whereas consumers (such as animals) have to eat producers (either directly, by eating plants, or indirectly, through eating another organism that eats plants) to gain energy. Plants are producers they get energy from the sun and animals eat it and becomes body heat of course.

What is a description of the energy flow through an ecosystem?
The plants get 10 percent energy from the sun. The highest concentration of energy is in producers [for example plants or algae]. Then the primary consumer eats only plants but retain only ten percent of their energy. Secondary consumers eat the primary consumers and get ten percent from the primary consumers. Secondary consumers can also eat plants. Then the final level is the tertiary consumers who are typically carnivores and eat secondary consumers. They retain 10 percent from the secondary consumers. So with each level less energy is achieved.
