Solution
Producers in an ecosystem are green organisms which fix solar energy by photosynthesis.
Explanation:
Producers fix solar energy, making them the foundational source of energy for all other organisms in the ecosystem. Thus, they serve as energy converters or transducers in the ecosystem’s energy flow. This is why producers are responsible for producing food from simple inorganic substances, such as carbon dioxide and water, using sunlight.
