A food chain is a linear sequence that illustrates how energy and nutrients flow through an ecosystem, beginning with producers and moving through various levels of consumers. Formed in interconnected food chains, known as food webs, these relationships highlight the complex interactions among organisms. Each species plays a specific role, with energy transferring from one trophic level to another, demonstrating the interdependence of species within an ecosystem. This interconnectedness is crucial for maintaining ecological balance and biodiversity.
They are called food chains.
A food web is formed by overlapping food chains.

A connected series of food chains is called a food web. Interconnected might be a better word.

Ecosystems with many connected food chains are known as complex or diverse ecosystems. These ecosystems have a variety of species interacting with each other in intricate ways, resulting in multiple food chains and a high level of biodiversity. Examples include tropical rainforests and coral reefs.
Symbiotic parasitic or mutualistic

One example of food chains that overlap is one where grass is eaten by rabbits, which are then eaten by foxes. In this scenario, the grass is consumed by both primary consumers (rabbits) and secondary consumers (foxes) in the same food chain. This demonstrates how different organisms can be connected through multiple feeding relationships.
