Trophic Level

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to build a tower out of blocks, where each level depends on the stability of the one below it. Each block in your tower is like a step in the food chain or food web, relying on the one below for support and balance. Just as the stability of your tower depends on each block being properly aligned, each trophic level in an ecosystem depends on the energy and nutrients provided by the level beneath it, highlighting the interconnectedness and dependency within the natural world.
