Statement 1: A network of food chains existing together in an ecosystem is known as a food web.
Statement 2: Birds like kite cannot be a part of a food web.
Statement 1 is correct and statement 2 is incorrect.
Food web is a network of interconnected food chain operational in an ecosystem. The image below represents the food web in a grassland ecosystem.
