Answer 1

A group of interconnected food chains is called a food web.

Explanation:

Unlike simple food chains, a food web consists of multiple food chains that are linked together. It represents the complex network of feeding relationships in an ecosystem, showing how energy and nutrients flow through different species and trophic levels. The complexity of a food web depends on the diversity of organisms and the number of alternative feeding paths available at each trophic level.
