A food chain shows that plants are eaten by herbivores like rabbits, which are then eaten by carnivores like lions. Producers like plants make their own food and are the first link in the food chain, while consumers eat other organisms. Herbivores eat plants, carnivores eat meat, predators eat other animals, and prey are eaten by predators. Decomposers break down dead organisms. Humans, eagles and lions are at the top of food pyramids as they are rarely preyed upon by other animals.
