A food chain is a linear network of links in a food web starting from producer organisms (such as grass or trees which use radiation from the sun to make their food) and ending at apex predator species (like grizzly bears or killer whales), detritivores (like earthworms or woodlice), or decomposer species (such as fungi or bacteria).a food chain also shows how the organisms are related with. Food chains on land start with plants and move up level by level, showing which creatures eat which. To help simplify and understand the production and distribution of food within a community, scientists often construct a food web, a diagram that assigns species to generalized, interlinked feeding levels.

The deep ocean is filled with sea creatures like giant larvaceans.

A food chain simply shows what organism eats. Sea urchins, some crab species, sponges, and even the large green sea turtle are primary consumers. At their roots, these unique ecosystems are fueled by chemical. They are eaten by primary consumers like zooplankton, small fish, and crustaceans.
