Small aquatic organisms, such as coral, are the producers of the ocean.
T/F

Answer 1

Yes

The given statement is true

Answer 2

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The corals are the marine invertebrates which live together in the oceans attached to the substratum forming a colony called the polyp.

The coral food chain becomes complex and forms food web and the position of the corals in the food web is the primary consumers as they feed on the zooplanktons through tentacles to survive.

Since the producers are the organisms which produce food on their own or are autotrophic like phytoplanktons but the corals feed on these planktons, therefore, are considered the primary consumers.

Thus, False is the correct answer.
