Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pigs feed on a wide range of foods, including plants, insects, worms, and even small animals. However, while pigs are mostly herbivorous and only 3–5% of their diet consists of meat and insects, the inclusion of these foods in their diet is what makes them omnivores.

Detailed explanation-2: -An omnivore (/ˈɒmnɪvɔːr/) is an animal that has the ability to eat and survive on both plant and animal matter. Obtaining energy and nutrients from plant and animal matter, omnivores digest carbohydrates, protein, fat, and fiber, and metabolize the nutrients and energy of the sources absorbed.

Detailed explanation-3: -An omnivorous animal is one that feeds on both plants and animals. They are able to digest both types of food because they have a gut that contains both a stomach and an intestine. Humans are omnivores, as are many other animals, such as pigs, bears, and raccoons.
