Prey is an organism consumed by a predator in predation. The name describes the receiving end of that interaction: a small fish can be prey for a large fish while being a predator of zooplankton. In a food web drawn with resource-to-consumer arrows, a feeding arrow goes outward from the prey toward its predator. This convention makes the route of food and energy easy to follow.
