In most food webs the Sun is the ultimate source of energy. Some food webs start with chemotrophs and in those cases the source of the energy are chemicals often from underwater volcanoes.

Where is the most energy transferred in the food web?
, I will answer this question on the basis that you know what a food web is. Well, for those who do not, it is a food chain but encompassing a system rather than focusing on an organism. The ultimate source of energy would be PLANTS! Plants that can generate their own food through nutrients from the soil and with aid from water and sunlight all of which being non living things and thus we conclude as herbivores eat plants and carnivores eat herbivores and other carnivores and plants who generate their own food eat none of the above they are the ultimate source of energy that you would consider in a food web. I am not sure you would consider sunlight as part of the food-web and thus conclude that the sun is the ultimate source of energy, but from what I learnt when I was younger was that PLANTS are the ultimate source of energy. Hope I Helped
Why a food web is called a food web?
The transfer of food energy from the source in plants through a series of organisms with repeated eating and being eaten is the Food Chain. The interlocking pattern of Food Chains makes up the Food Web. It's called a food WEB because its a web of interconnecting food chains.That why the food chain is important. THANK YOU FOR ASKING.
