The name for organisms that eat producers is Consumers.Generically, 'producers' or 'autotrophs' make their own food from Water, Carbon dioxide and the energy in Sunlight and 'consumers' or 'heterotrophs' get their food/energy by eating producers.
However, consumers can be subdivided into:-
Herbivores (which only eat producers, primary consumers - e.g. Zebra, Rabbits)
Carnivores (which predate and eat herbivores, secondary consumers - e.g. Tigers, Sharks)
Omnivores (which can eat both herbivores and producers - e.g. Humans, Pigs)
There are also those organisms which break down and decompose producers and consumers when they die.
Producers take in carbon dioxide from the air, and consumers eat the producers.
Producers are organisms that can make their own food. Consumers are organisms that eat other organisms for food. By and large, it is ONLY the plants that are producers (they make food by harvesting the energy of sunlight). As trees and grass are both plants then they are producers.
Herbivores that eat producers are known as primary consumers. These animals primarily feed on plants, algae, or other photosynthetic organisms as their main source of nutrition. Examples of primary consumers include rabbits, deer, and grasshoppers.
Producers are organisms that other organisms can use for food. Some producers are grass, trees, and other plants. Any animal that eats plants eats producers, this includes cows, sheep, humans, some birds, and many more.
All organisms that are not producers are known as discomposes. This is in fungi.
Organisms that eat other organisms for energy are hetreotrophs.

Chicken
Producers (plants) make their own food, consumers don't. Consumers have to eat producers or other consumers.
Consumer
Consumers eat other organisms and producers make their own food.
Producers are organisms that make their own food using sunlight (photosynthesis) consumers are organisms that eat producers or other consumers and decomposers are organisms that return the dead organisms to their primary components such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide

Herbivore
Producers take in carbon dioxide from the air, and consumers eat the producers.
Producers are plants that give us oxygen, and vegetables and fruits. Producers don't eat other producers and organisms, they only get eaten, or used as food by other organisms.
