Food Chain and Ecosystem Roles

The video explains the food chain vocabulary, focusing on producers, consumers, and decomposers. Producers, like plants, create their own food through photosynthesis. Consumers, including herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores, obtain energy by eating other organisms. Decomposers, such as fungi and bacteria, break down dead matter, returning nutrients to the soil. The video emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables for obtaining essential nutrients.
