Rabbits provide a food source for foxes. It is necessary for a species near the bottom of the food chain to be more numerous in order to ensure an ample supply of food. If the rabbit population starts to fall, there won't be enough for foxes to eat, so the foxes will begin to die of starvation. The population size of the foxes is directly limited by the availability of food: the population size of the rabbits.
Also, (This is a diffrent person) they are food for LOTS of things, not just foxes. They are also food to hawks, eagles, bears, wolfs, cyots, snakes, ospre, and many more. Oh yeah, if you killed all the rabbits in the area, all these thing will leave, or die.

Why is a complex food wed better than a simple food chain for the survival of a community?
Because in a simple food web there is no room for adapton and change like there is for a complex food chain. For example, lets say the world was only rabbits and foxes. now the foxes eat all the rabbits and the rabbits become exctinct. So sow with the foxes only source of food gone, they'll starve to death, which in turn, causes the world to turn into an empty wasteland. But with a complex food chain, was as is, the foxes would have mere to prey on which would save the rabbits and the foxes. I hope i helped...

What are the WILD rabbit breeds?
I don't know what breed it actually is, but the wild rabbits I've seen look identical to my Mini Lop-Eared rabbit, Snuggles. I have read that they are called the 'Common rabbit' but there's probably more than one Common rabbit in the world, but I know for sure they are not English rabbits (English rabbits are speckled , like a Skewbald horse). Wild rabbits are normally a tawny-brown colour with a distinctive silky golden-brown neck. But I don't know any more than that.
