Solution

  1. Plants are also known as producers.
  2. They are so-called because they are capable of making their own food with the help of abiotic factors, i.e. sunlight, soil, water, and air.
  3. Every food chain starts with producers because only plants are capable of changing light energy into chemical energy, which is then used by both plants and other consumers.
