In the food pyramid, there are usually not many animals at the top because they need to eat a lot of energy from other animals to survive. This means there is less biomass, or total amount of living things, at the top because the energy decreases as you move up the pyramid. Plants, like trees and grass, are at the bottom of the pyramid and they make their own food through photosynthesis. They have a lot of energy, which they get from the sun, and this energy helps them grow and support the whole ecosystem by providing food and shelter for all the other animals.
