Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Interdependence. All organisms in an ecosystem depend upon each other. If the population of one organism rises or falls, then this can affect the rest of the ecosystem. If the foxes in the food chain above were killed, the population of rabbits would increase because they are no longer prey to the foxes.
Detailed explanation-2: -For example, herbivorous animals are dependent on plant life for food, many animals are dependent on plants for protective cover or nesting, and both plant and animal life are dependent on abiotic factors such as water, nutrients, light and suitable temperatures.
