When one organism captures and kills another, it typically engages in a predatory interaction, where the predator obtains energy and nutrients from its prey. This process can affect population dynamics, ecosystem balance, and species interactions. The death of the prey can also lead to changes in the behavior and survival of other organisms within the ecosystem. Additionally, the remains of the prey can provide nutrients for decomposers, further contributing to ecological processes.
An organism that kills and eats all or part of another organism is called a carnivore.
