Solution

An ecosystem has two components:
1. Autotrophic component: It includes the green plants, photosynthetic bacteria and cyanobacteria which are capable of manufacturing their organic food. These organisms are called producers.
2. Heterotrophic component: It includes those organisms which consume either readymade organic food or decompose the complex organic substances into simple inorganic substances. These are called consumers in which macro consumers are animals and micro consumers are decomposers.
So, the correct answer is 'producers'.
