An example of a food web:
[ Grass ] -> [ Zebra ] -v
[ Leaf ] -> [ Giraffe ] - [ Lion ]
The transfer of food energy from the source in plants through a series of organisms with repeated eating and being eaten is the Food Chain. The interlocking pattern of Food Chains makes up the Food Web.
A food chain traces the movement of energy flow from one organism to the next. A chain usually starts with an autotroph that converts energy from the sun into chemical energy (glucose). The passing of energy occurs when a heterotroph (organisms that collect chemical energy that is created by other organisms) consumes an autotroph. A food chain doesn't accurately show all the kinds of organisms that each heterotroph can consume to get energy from, so scientists invented food webs to display the various pathways that energy movement can happen in an ecosystem.

What does a food food chain or food web start with?
A food chain or food web starts with producers, such as plants, that convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. These producers are then consumed by primary consumers (herbivores), which are in turn consumed by secondary consumers (carnivores) and so on. This forms a linear food chain or a more complex food web.
