The base of an energy pyramid is always composed of producers and the energy available within them (usually 100%).

An energy pyramid is a graphical representation of how energy flows in an ecosystem. The base of an energy pyramid is always composed of producers and the energy available within them (usually 100%). Producers are organisms (such as plants and phytoplankton) that manufacture their own food from non-living sources of energy such as sun.
