The name for organisms that eat producers is Consumers.Generically, 'producers' or 'autotrophs' make their own food from Water, Carbon dioxide and the energy in Sunlight and 'consumers' or 'heterotrophs' get their food/energy by eating producers.
However, consumers can be subdivided into:-
Herbivores (which only eat producers, primary consumers - e.g. Zebra, Rabbits)
Carnivores (which predate and eat herbivores, secondary consumers - e.g. Tigers, Sharks)
Omnivores (which can eat both herbivores and producers - e.g. Humans, Pigs)
There are also those organisms which break down and decompose producers and consumers when they die.
All organisms that eat only producers are known as herbivores. Some good examples are cows, rabbits, hamsters, chickens, horses, geese, and most animals found on a farm.
Primary consumers eat producers for energy.

Producers take in carbon dioxide from the air, and consumers eat the producers.
Producers are organisms that can make their own food. Consumers are organisms that eat other organisms for food. By and large, it is ONLY the plants that are producers (they make food by harvesting the energy of sunlight). As trees and grass are both plants then they are producers.
Well...if the sun isn't there to give energy to the plants {producers} then the organisms who eat plants will die. And then the consumers that eat the producer eating organisms won't have anything to eat because the plants are dead. So then both producers and the consumers start to die out.
All organisms that are not producers are known as discomposes. This is in fungi.
Organisms that eat other organisms for energy are hetreotrophs.

Producers (plants) make their own food, consumers don't. Consumers have to eat producers or other consumers.

Consumers eat other organisms and producers make their own food.
Producers are organisms that make their own food using sunlight (photosynthesis) consumers are organisms that eat producers or other consumers and decomposers are organisms that return the dead organisms to their primary components such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide

Producers are plants that give us oxygen, and vegetables and fruits. Producers don't eat other producers and organisms, they only get eaten, or used as food by other organisms.
Producers take in carbon dioxide from the air, and consumers eat the producers.
