A food chain is a series of living things in which each type of thing serves as food for the next type of thing in the chain.
Humans eat chickens, chickens eat worms, and worms eat leaves. This means that leaves are food for worms, worms are food for chickens, and chickens are food for people. This is an example of a food chain. We can say that humans are at the top of this chain. In another food chain, plants are food for zebras, and zebras are food for lions. In this food chain, lions are at the top.
