A food web is a system of interlocking and interdependent food chains.


A food chain is a hierarchical series of organisms each dependent on the next as a source of food.


Basically, the difference of the two is that a food web contains multiple different species in the same level that eat the animal below it's status. A food chain is one after the other.
