Aquatic plants, being the primary producers in this ecosystem, convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, creating the base of the biomass pyramid. As energy is transferred up each trophic level, from plants to herbivores to carnivores, a significant amount of energy is lost, primarily as heat. This results in a decrease in biomass with each ascending trophic level, making the aquatic plants the level with the greatest amount of biomass.
