Understand the roles of different organisms in an ecosystem: Producers, consumers, and decomposers.
Producers, also known as autotrophs, are organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.
Consumers are organisms that obtain energy by feeding on other organisms. They are classified based on their diet: herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, etc.
Decomposers break down dead organic material, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.
Identify that herbivores are a type of consumer because they feed on plants, which are producers.
