The pyramids are just visual ways to show relative amounts of something. Pyramids are shaped with more at the bottom....
So.... in a pyramid of BIOMASS, the organisms at the BOTTOM of the pyramid (ie: the ones at the bottom of the food chain like the producers) will have the largest biomass.
Biomass is nothing more that the total mass of the organism. So if you took a HUGE scale... the mass of all of the krill in the ocean would be larger than the mass of all of the whales in the ocean.
