this is because plants the only autotrophs on earth (meaning the only ones who can prepare there own food) prepare their food by a process called photosynthesis for which sunlight is an important component and as we know all living beings directly or indirect depend on plants for their food thus sun is very important for the food chain

Is a food chain a network of interlaced food?

An overlapping food chain is made-up of two or more food chains in connection with one another. For example, you have the first food chain: corn, Grasshopper, Frog, Snake and another food chain with: rice, worm, bird. Then if both food chains are merged then the worm may also eat the corn, the snake may also eat the bird, so on and so forth.
