Why must there be more organisms at the bottom of the pyramid of numbers at the top?

There needs to be more organisms at the bottom of the pyramid of numbers because each trophic level requires energy from the level below it, resulting in a decrease in available energy as you move up the food chain. This means that more organisms are needed at lower levels to support the energy requirements of those at higher levels.

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?"
