    Producers are green plants that use sunlight and water to produce their own food. Consumers eat other organisms and are categorized as primary, secondary, or tertiary depending on what they consume - grasshoppers are primary consumers that eat grass, frogs are secondary consumers that eat grasshoppers, and owls are tertiary consumers that eat frogs. Decomposers like bacteria and fungi break down dead organic matter and release nutrients back into the soil. The unbroken food chain is important for providing energy to all living things and supporting ecosystems.
