Answer:

producers

Step-by-step explanation:

The first level includes the producers—the photosynthetic plants—which convert the Sun's radiant energy into nutrients available to other organisms in the community. These plants are eaten by herbivores (plant-eaters, or primary consumers), the second trophic level.

The first trophic level in every ecosystem is autotroph.

WHAT IS TROPHIC LEVEL:

Trophic level is the position of an organism in the flow of energy within an ecosystem.

In an ecosystem, energy flow begins with a set of organisms called producers or autotrophs. Examples of autotrophs are green plants, algae etc.

Therefore, the first trophic level in every ecosystem is autotroph.
