Question

why sometimes animals too are regarded as producers?

Answer 1

These organisms are called the producers, and they get their energy directly from sunlight and inorganic nutrients. The organisms that eat the producers are the primary consumers. They tend to be small in size and there are many of them.

Answer 2

Answer:

Plants and algae (plant-like organisms that live in water) are able to make their own food using energy from the sun. These organisms are called producers because they produce their own food.
