Some animals get their energy from eating plants while other animals get energy indirectly from plants by eating other animals that already ate the plants. Animals that eat only plants are called herbivores. Animals that eat both plants and other animals are called omnivores.

Detailed explanation-3: -Herbivores are primary consumers, meaning they eat producers, such as plants and algae.
