A food chain shows the feeding relationship between different organisms in a ecosystem. A food chain typically begins with plants because they can make food using energy from the sun. Also, a food chain represents a series of events in which food and energy are transferred from one organism to another in an ecosystem. Food chains show how energy is passed from the sun to producers, from producers to consumers, and from consumers to decomposers. In the food chain given above, grass is the producer, deer, tiger, decomposer all are consumers dependent on one another for food.
