Food webs illustrate the complex interconnections between various organisms in an ecosystem. They show how energy and nutrients flow from one organism to another, starting from producers like plants to various levels of consumers, including herbivores and carnivores. Each organism plays a vital role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem. In a food web, multiple food chains are interconnected, highlighting the diversity of feeding relationships. For example, a hawk may eat a rabbit, which in turn feeds on grass. This intricate network emphasizes the importance of each species and how their survival is linked to others in their environment.
