A food chain is a linear network of links in a food web starting from producer organisms and ending at apex predator species, detritivores, or decomposer species.
eg. Next come organisms that eat the autotrophs; these organisms are called herbivores or primary consumers -- an example is a rabbit that eats grass. The next link in the chain is animals that eat herbivores - these are called secondary consumers -- an example is a snake that eat rabbits.

Answer:
The sequence of living organisms in a community in which one organism consumes another organism to transfer food energy is called a food chain. An example of a simple food chain is that operating in a grassland:
Grass (Producer)⟶Deer (Herbivore)⟶Lion(Carnivore)
The inter-connected food chains operating in an ecosystem that establish a network of relationships among various species comprise a food web.
A food web is formed by many food chains operating together.
Five food chains are possible in this food web, which is as follows.
1) Grass → Grasshopper → Frog → Hawk
2) Grass → Grasshopper → Rat → Fox
3) Grass → Rabbit → Fox
4) Grass → Rat → Snake →Hawk
5) Grass → Rat → Hawk
