Verified Answer :

In the same system, the organisms are interdependent: one is a food source for another, which in turn is a food source for another, etc. this does not end with predators: when they die, their bodies are a food source for very small animals.

Interdependent



Organisms in the ecosystem are
interdependent. Ecosystem is encompassing all the life on earth in the physical
environment that supports it. In
addition,
an ecosystem involves both the biological (plants, animals,
human beings) and non-biological (land, water, soil, and atmosphere) community
which interacts as a system. More importantly, the living things are very
dependent on the abiotic community since it cannot survive by itself. Every
animal, plant and human needs the primary physiological needs of water, food
and shelter provided by the abiotic system.
