Bivalves are consumers, specifically filter feeders. They obtain their food by filtering plankton and organic matter from the water, rather than producing their own food like plants do through photosynthesis. This feeding mechanism classifies them as heterotrophs, which rely on other organisms for energy and nutrients.

No, starfish are not producers; they are classified as consumers. They belong to the echinoderm phylum and primarily feed on bivalves, snails, and other small marine organisms.
