Plants are called producers because they are able to produce energy and carbon for themselves from non-living sources through a process known as photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, plants use sunlight and carbon dioxide to produce organic compounds. These organic compounds become the source for many other organisms within an ecosystem.

The organism that feeds on producers is called?
The organism that feeds on producers is called a herbivore. Herbivores consume plant-based food sources as their primary source of energy and nutrients.
Are photosynthetic organisms called consumers?
No, organisms that use photosynthesis are called producers because they capture sunlight energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose sugars, oxygen, and water. The glucose sugars are used by the plant to grow and reproduce. Since these plant organisms are creating biomass using sunlight, they are essentially producing food for other organisms to consume (who are called consumers).
