a consumer its a producer because a producer is what makes the food and a consumer eats the food.
Organism that makes their own food from simple food sources.
Organisms are called producers because they have the ability to create their own food through processes like photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. They form the base of the food chain by producing energy-rich organic compounds that can be consumed by other organisms. This makes them crucial for sustaining ecosystems and providing energy for higher trophic levels.
