In a parasitic food chain the pyramid of number will be ________.

Answer 1

In a parasitic food chain, the pyramid of number will be inverted.

In a parasitic food chain, a single plant supports the growth of many herbivores. Each herbivore may provide nutrition to several parasites, which support the growth of many hyperparasites. The number of organisms gradually shows an increase from the producers towards the consumers. This makes the pyramid inverted in shape.
