I answered the same question in another post but here I'll post what I wrote with reasoning why.
<em><u>Plants</u></em> : plants are generally <em><u>autotropic</u></em> living organisms, that prepare their own food by using simple substances through <em><u>photosynthesis</u></em>,
eg. maple, bamboo, etc.
<em><u>Consumers</u></em>: these are living organisms that doesn't produce their own food and depends upon <em><u>producers</u></em> and other <em><u>consumers</u></em> for food.
eg. Human, rat, etc
<em><u>decomposers</u></em> : these are living organisms that break down the <em><u>dead</u></em> and <em><u>decaying</u></em> body of organisms to obtain their food,
eg. bacteria, mushrooms, etc
<em><u>producers</u></em> : these are living organisms that produce their own food through process of <em><u>photosynthesis</u></em>.
eg. plants, cyano bacteria, etc
