The sunlight is absorbed by plants as they have chlorophyall that captures sunlight for photosynthesis. By this process, they produce food. The energy from oxidation of food is stored which is in turn Consumed by us. Plants are producers, That is they have ability to synthesize food from Raw materials and oxygen. But, we are consumers,or heterotrophs , thus we have to obtain food from plants only.

In the attachment , there is a food chain. The food is first synthesized by plants, thus they are ultimate source of food in all food chains and webs. Then the bug obtained its food from plants. The chicken eats the bug, and we eat the chicken. So through a long chain...the food made by plants reach us
