What is an example of producer in a food chain?
Only plants are producers, because they can produce their own food. All food chains start with the Sun, then go to plants (producers), then branch out to any combination of herbivores/omnivores, carnivores and finally end with decomposers, who break down biotic material and make new soil. The nutrients in the soil are used by the producers and then the chain keeps on going.
The previous answer, a rabbit, is misleading. The rabbit (example: Arctic hare) is a herbivore consumer of the plant.
