A food chain shows how energy and nutrients move from one living thing to another. It starts with a plant, which makes its own food using sunlight. For example, a rabbit eats grass, and then a fox eats the rabbit. This shows how the energy from the grass travels to the rabbit and then to the fox. Each link in the food chain is important for keeping nature balanced.
