Producers or Primary Consumers are the beginning link in a food chain while Decomposers or Tertiary Consumers are at the end of the chain?

the producers are on the bottom because they feed everything else and tertiary consumers are on the top (they eat everything)

Answer: The given statement is True.

Food chain can be described as the sequence of transfer of energy and matter among different organisms present within an ecosystem.

It starts with producers ( occupying the first trophic level), which are consumed by consumers in a successive manner ( primary consumer→ secondary consumers→ tertiary consumer or decomposers).

Therefore, producers are beginning link in a food chain whereas decomposers occupy the last level in a food chain.
