The term fall of Rome refers to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire (the eastern part continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years). The fall of the western part of the Roman Empire was a process. Many factors contributed to this. The main one was the invasions by Germanic peoples (Vandals, Alans, Sueves and Burgundians). This part of the empire crumbled under the weight of these invasions. It lost political cohesion. There was a lot of infighting and a string of usurpations. The Romans were unable to respond to the invasions. Within some eighty years all the lands of this part of the empire were lost. Many historians think that prior to the fall of this part of the empire there was a decline of the Roman Empire as a whole.

Did famine have a big impact on ancient rome falling?

Not necessarily. Rome fell mainly because of the Great Migration (people from nearby countries referred to as "Barbarians" came into Rome) so Rome suffered financial problems and military issues. Famine began after plague caused by Rome trying to solve financial problems by trade (plague was brought in by fleas on rats on foreign ships). Hope this helped. :)
