Answer:
The removal of the producers would cause the collapse of the entire food web.
Explanation:
Primary consumers or herbivores, which feed on producers directly, would die off. ... However, even these dead organisms would run out and the entire food web would collapse.
They would starve and die unless they could move to another habitat. All the other animals in the food web would die too, because their food supplies would have gone. The populations of the consumers would fall as the population of the producer fell.

Answer:
If producers will decrease in a rainforest ecosystem then consumers will die due to hunger.
Explanation:
- The food chain/food web is the network of links between different organisms that are connected with the food. It is divided into different trophic levels, starts with the producer and ends on the decomposers, detritivores, or an apex predator species.
- Every ecosystem has three major biotic components; producer, consumer, and decomposers.
- In the rainforest ecosystem, producers are mosses, grasses, trees, vines, tropical fruit trees, and decomposers. Primary consumers are birds, monkeys, etc. Secondary consumers are giant spiders, tree frogs, etc.
- If producers will decrease in a rainforest ecosystem, consumers will die due to hunger because the food chain gets disturb. Each trophic level after producers is dependent. Hence, each level in the food chain gets affected if producers are decreased.
