Here’s the classification of each organism in the ecosystem as a producer, consumer, or decomposer:

| Organism | Role | |------------|-----------| | Grass | Producer | | Rabbit | Consumer | | Worm | Decomposer | | Bear | Consumer |

Explanation:

  • Grass is a producer because it utilizes photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy, forming the base of the food chain.
  • Rabbit is a consumer as it primarily eats plants (producers) and is classified as a herbivore.
  • Worm acts as a decomposer by breaking down organic matter and recycling nutrients back into the soil.
  • Bear is a consumer; it is an omnivore that eats both plants and animals, placing it in the consumer category.
