∙ 13y agoBecause, without sun, no plants would grow, and without plants, plant eaters will die, and without plant eaters, birds and things that eat small creatures will die... etc... See how it all connects?........... in my opinion you need plants because the producers need energy to give to the herbivores, then 10% is distributed through to the omnivour and carnivour so without the energy from the sun all living thing would die so kinda the same with the first answer hope this helps :)
