A food web is a series of food chains linked together. Their purpose is to show how energy transfers itself through an ecosystem, or some sort of environment.

Food webs are divided into different "levels" which consist of at least one living organism - producers (like plants and trees) count.

Arrows (or some sort of indication) point from lower levels to higher levels (never vice-versa) - which indicate the flow of energy between the two living organisms.

Together with the organisms in the levels, and the arrows showing the flow of energy between the levels, a food web is created.

The different levels have a special name

second-order consumers also known as secondary consumers

third-order consumers also known as ( I don't really know what to call this one xD)
