Abstract
In the intricate web of life that comprises an ecosystem, trophic levels play a fundamental role in delineating the flow of energy and nutrients among its various inhabitants. Derived from the Greek word "trophe," meaning nourishment or food, trophic levels represent the hierarchical structure of feeding relationships within a biological community. From primary producers to apex predators, each trophic level contributes to the overall stability and functioning of the ecosystem.
