A trophic level is defined as the role an organism plays within a food chain. These roles can include primary producers, consumers, and detritivores. Both egrets and the heron play the same role in a food chain. However, the long legs and the beaks of egret and herons are adaptive for their ecological niche as well as their feeding behaviour. These are more comprehensive compared to other adaptive features.
