Solution
Sun
Explanation:
Solar energy is captured by green plants (producers) through photosynthesis, forming the base of the food chain. Carnivores obtain energy indirectly from the sun by consuming herbivores or other carnivores. Hence, energy flow in the ecosystem starts with the sun as the primary energy source for all trophic levels.
