Answer;

producers

In an ecosystem, phytoplankton are producers.

Explanation;

• Phytoplankton are the primary producers of their ecosystem, since they are the first organisms to produce energy, which they create from light sources, such as the Sun.
• They convert acquired light energy into carbohydrates through the process of photosynthesis. Energy not used by the phytoplankton for maintenance is available as food for the animals that consume it.
