What is at the bottom at the food chain?

At the bottom of any food chain are the producers. Generally producers are thought of as being "green plants". A producer need not be green, (diatoms, red algae brown algae, chemosynthetic bacteria as in the ocean deeps by hot-water vents are examples of non-green producers). The foregoing are not even vascular plants. Perhaps the producer organisms responsible for the greatest food production would be the phytoplankton of the oceans. If an organism is being sought as the occupier of the bottom of a food chain or web, I agree. However, at the bottom of any food chain or web I would place an energy source. The food pyramid sits upon one or several energy sources. It is not an organism, but I believe it must precede any organism capable of synthesizing a food. Perhaps the question now may be, "What was the first energy incorporating organism?"

Where does an ecosysytem get energy?

Initially, energy from the sun is used by producers, which are photosynthetic, to make food. Primary consumers eat the photosynthetic organisms. Secondary consumers eat primary consumers, and so on. Tertiary consumers are at the top of the food pyramid. The amount of energy decreases with each level of the food pyramid as energy is lost as heat. This is why animals at the top of the pyramid, the tertiary consumers, must consume more animals to receive a sufficient amount of energy for survival.
