What is the term used to describe food chains which overlap and intersect?

Food chains and webs not only describe the order in which organisms are eaten, but they also describe the _____.
Why is aquatic food chain longer than those of land animals?
Aquatic food chains tend to be longer than land food chains because aquatic ecosystems often have more diverse and abundant species at each trophic level. The availability of different habitats and a greater variety of food sources in aquatic environments allows for more complex interactions and energy transfer among organisms, resulting in longer food chains. Additionally, the presence of phytoplankton, which form the base of many aquatic food chains, supports a larger number of higher trophic levels.
food web?
Food webs describe the organisms in a particular ecosystem found in interconnecting food chains using pictures or words and arrows.
Aquatic food chains what do they look like?

What are Producers in aquatic food chains?

What organisms are typically found at the beginning of aquatic food chains?

What are diatoms in the food chain?
Diatoms are single-celled algae that form the base of many aquatic food chains. They are an important food source for various organisms including zooplankton, small fish, and some invertebrates. Diatoms play a crucial role in transferring energy from the sun into the aquatic food web.
How is food web different from a food chain?
A food chain is a sequence of links from one species to another in a food web. Food chains show links from producer to consumer organisms. For example: aquatic vegetation ---- fish ------- seagull On the other hand a food web shows interconnections between food chains. For example: aquatic vegetation ----------- fish --- seagull or fish ----- larger fish -------- sea eagle In this food web there is a link from fish to seagull and also a link from fish to larger fish to sea eagle
