Answer:

Plants are called producers because they make – or produce – their own food. ... They convert these ingredients into food by using energy from sunlight. This process is called photosynthesis, which means 'making out of light'. The foods are called glucose and starch.

Hope it helps!!!

Answer:

The plant roots take up water and minerals from the ground and their leaves absorb a gas called carbon dioxide from the air. The plant converts these ingredients into food by using energy from sunlight.
