Plankton, specifically phytoplankton, are considered producers because they perform photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy and producing organic matter from carbon dioxide and water. This process forms the base of the aquatic food web, providing energy and nutrients for a wide range of marine organisms. As primary producers, phytoplankton play a crucial role in carbon cycling and contribute to oxygen production in the oceans.
producer
Plankton may be both producer (phytoplankton) and consumer (zoo plankton) but is not a decomposer (that is the job for bacteria). Phytoplankton is the producer, which is eaten by zooplankton, which is then eaten by other organisms in the ocean.

yes
Plankton is not a consumer because it eats different bacterias, this makes its a producer.
It is basically a producer.
No, they aren't.
I don't think so.
one is plankton which is the main producer
Yes it is; and one of its consumers is zoo plankton.
Krill eats zoo plankton so it consumes
