the producers are on the bottom because they feed everything else and tertiary consumers are on the top (they eat everything)

Answer: The given statement is True.

Food chain can be described as the sequence of transfer of energy and matter among different organisms present within an ecosystem.

It starts with producers ( occupying the first trophic level), which are consumed by consumers in a successive manner ( primary consumer→ secondary consumers→ tertiary consumer or decomposers).

Therefore, producers are beginning link in a food chain whereas decomposers occupy the last level in a food chain.
