Explanation:

Pyramid of energy is a model used to depict the flow of energy from one trophic level or feeding level to the next in an ecosystem. It's a diagram that compares the energy used by organisms at each trophic level of the food chain. The pyramid of energy must never be inverted or turned upside down.

The units used in the construction of pyramids of energy is kilocalories (kcal) or energy per area per time (Jm-²year-¹).

In Biology, producers are the living organisms that are capable of manufacturing their own food and as such can provide energy or food for the other living organisms (consumers) in a food chain. Thus, producers are mainly known as the foundation of a food chain and are at the top.

In this scenario, the producers are the bulrushes and water lilies which typically provides food for the snails and worms.
