The plant belongs to the first trophic level, also known as primary producers. This level consists of primary producers, which are typically plants and algae that produce their own food through photosynthésis.
Trophic Levels
- First Trophic Level (Primary Producers) - These organisms produce their own food through photosynthésis, converting sunlight into chemical energy stored in glucose. Examples are plants, algae, and some bacteria.
- Second Trophic Level (Primary Consumers) - These organisms eat primary producers to obtain energy. These are mainly herbivores.
- Third Trophic Level (Secondary Consumers) - They obtain energy by consuming primary consumers. These are carnivores and omnivores that eat herbivores.
- Fourth Trophic Level (Tertiary Consumers) - They are at the top of the food chain and obtain energy by consuming secondary consumers. These are carnivores that eat other carnivores.
