Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The inter-connecting network of species is known as food web. A mouse feeding on grain may be eaten by different secondary consumers (carnivores) and these carnivores may be eaten by other different tertiary consumers (top carnivores). In such situations, each of the carnivores may consume more than one type of prey. As a result, the food chains get interlocked with one another.
