Sun is the ultimate source of energy in an ecosystem. Green plants and certain microorganisms such as blue green algae prepare their own food using sunlight. They have green pigment chlorophyll which absorbs sunlight. They convert solar energy into chemical energy. This process is known as photosynthesis in which photosynthetic organisms perform carbon fixation. They incorporate inorganic carbon into organic compounds.
Hence, the statement given in the question is correct.
So, the correct answer is 'True'.
