Typically, the food chain is like a pyramid more than a chain. The lower on the food chain an organism is, the more of them that there are, because the lower organisms are usually smaller so it takes more of them to feed the larger ones at the top. ie sardines eat plankton, tuna eat sardines, and sharks eat the tuna.....each one is bigger than the other so there are more plankton than tuna, and more tuna than sharks.

What is a living thing that does not follow anything?

The power of the principle of extrapolation is all that can provide the Answer. All living things follow sustenance. Life higher on the Food-Chain follows food-stuffs lower down that same chain. So, to extrapolate, the only living things that do not follow anything are those at the rock bottom of the Food-Chain: indeed they ARE THE ONLY ORGANISMS TO HAVE SUSTENANCE BROUGHT TO THEM.

Is a food chain known as a food wed?

Generally it's the same thing. Technically albeit the food web is a sort of graph that shows where energy is delivered through animals. (for example energy from phytoplankton go to clams which then goes to seagulls.) While a food chain shows in what order each animal is on a chart depending on how many predators they have. (for example mice have many predators and will be at the bottom of the food chain, while lions have few predators and are at the top of the food chain.)
