Answer:

Food web

Explanation:

Food chain describes how each living organism feed.

Plants are producers because the use photosynthesis to grow and provide nutrients which animals later come to consume, because animals devour plants or animals because they cannot produce their own food like plants. The animals are known as consumers.

Fungi is also a consumer because it absorbs the nutrients available from other living organisms.

Consumers are classified into three types:

1. Carnivores are organisms that feed mainly on animals



2. Herbivores who feed on plants

3. Omnivores who feed on both plants and animals.

A food web describes the relationship between various food chains and how they interact with each other in the eco system.
