Duckweed is a producer, as it does not consume directly any other organism to get it's food, and creates it's own food through photosynthetic action. Another way to look at it is that duckweed is a producer as it takes atomic substances and changes them to more complex molecules which can then be used for energy storage or direct energy usage, rather than obtaining these complex 'food' molecules from the surrounding environment.

Duckweed is a producer. As a plant, it is able to produce its own food through photosynthesis using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. It does not rely on other organisms for its energy needs.
