In a food web, each organism has a role as a predator, prey, or both. If one organism goes extinct, its predators lose a food source (less food for them), while the organisms it preyed on lose a predator, so their populations may grow, leading to more available food for their other predators or reduced competition for their own food sources. The food web cannot stay the same because the extinction disrupts the existing trophic relationships.
