Explanation:

The energy pyramid is a graphical representation of how energy is passed from one trophic level to the other, from those who take the energy directly from the non-living resources, and the sun, use it, store some of it, and then transfer it to the higher levels. As such, the base of the pyramid are the producers, like plants, who take the energy from the non-living sources and use it to both produce new biomass, and transfer part of it to the next level. After the producers come the consumers, and the reason is that the number of members, and the amount of energy that is passed, is in an upward form, from producers, towards the top of the food chain.
