Green plants are commonly referred to as producers in ecological terms. They are called producers because they are capable of producing their own food through the process of photosynthesis, using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to synthesize glucose (a form of carbohydrate) and oxygen. This ability to produce their own food forms the foundation of most ecosystems, as other organisms depend on them directly or indirectly for energy and nutrients.
