Is an amoeba a consumer decomposer or a producer?

Answer 1

An amoeba is primarily considered a consumer. It feeds on organic material by engulfing food particles, such as bacteria and small protozoa, through a process called phagocytosis. Unlike producers, which create their own energy through photosynthesis, or decomposers, which break down dead organic matter, amoebas actively consume living or once-living organisms for energy.
