The assertion is false. In Maslow's hierarchy of needs, belongingness and social interaction fall under the third level, which is the "Social Needs" category. Physiological needs, on the other hand, are the first level of the hierarchy and encompass basic biological requirements for human survival, such as food, water, air, and shelter.
The reason is true in the context of Maslow's hierarchy. Physiological needs are indeed the foundational requirements for survival, encompassing the most basic biological and physical necessities.
