Detailed Solution

Biomass is defined as the amount of living or organic matter present at a trophic level.

The inverted pyramid of biomass has the least amount number of primary producers and these groups support the primary and secondary consumers which are more in number. 

As per the data given,

  • Primary producer: 10g
  • Primary consumer: 60g
  • Secondary consumer: 120g

This shows that the secondary consumers are maximum in number followed by the primary producers, which are least in number. This means that biomass production is less for the producers compared to the consumers; hence, an inverted pyramid of biomass.
