Detailed explanation-1: -Animals that eat only plants are called herbivores. Deer, grasshoppers, and rabbits are all herbivores. There are lots of different plants and lots of different herbivores. Some herbivores eat only part of a plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -Herbivores form an important link in the food chain because they consume plants to digest the carbohydrates photosynthetically produced by a plant. Carnivores in turn consume herbivores for the same reason, while omnivores can obtain their nutrients from either plants or animals.

Detailed explanation-3: -Herbivores are animals that eat only plants. Carnivores are animals that eat only meat. Omnivores are animals that eat both plants and meat. The size of an animal does not determine what it eats.

Detailed explanation-4: -Herbivores are animals whose primary food source is plant-based. Examples of herbivores, as shown in Figure 1 include vertebrates like deer, koalas, and some bird species, as well as invertebrates such as crickets and caterpillars.

Detailed explanation-5: -Herbivores are organisms that feed exclusively on plants. Cow, deer and elephant are examples of herbivores.
