Food web increases the stability of an ecosystem. Justify.
(N/A) food web depicts the complex feeding connections within an ecological community. It consists of many interconnected food chains. If any one organism becomes endangered or extinct,the organisms that depend on it for food have alternative options available for their survival. This redundancy prevents the collapse of the food chain and,in this way,a food web increases the overall stability of an ecosystem.
