Detailed explanation-1: -The trophic level of an organism is the number of steps it is from the start of the chain. A food web starts at trophic level 1 with primary producers such as plants, can move to herbivores at level 2, carnivores at level 3 or higher, and typically finish with apex predators at level 4 or 5.
Detailed explanation-2: -A trophic level refers to a level or a position in a food chain, a food web, or an ecological pyramid. It is occupied by a group of organisms that have a similar feeding mode.
