Aphids depend on the sap of plants for food, while some species feed on only a particular type of plants. Most aphids feed on different types of roses, while others feed on bamboo, willow, oak, walnut, maple, sugarcane, lettuce, alfalfa and more. Some types of aphids are also known to feed on grape vines.
Oh, aphids (aka plant lice) certainly do love sunflower plants, but they don't "eat" them. What they do is suck the life juices from the plant stems and leaves. The aphid is a very successful species, and they have a lot of enemies including ladybird beetles, parasitic wasps, crab Spiders and some types of fungi. They also have some friends. If you notice ants on your sunflower plants, they are there to "farm", and thus protect, the aphids. Some species of ants eat the aphid honeydew which, to put it bluntly, is aphid poop.
Plant fluids are the foods that aphids consume. The insects in question (Aphidoidea superfamily) have piercing, sipping moouthparts for puncturing plant tissues in leaves, stalks and stems. They prey upon the nutrient-rich, up-flowing xylem and the sugar-rich, down-flowing phloem that keep plant interiors developing as life cycles and natural histories intend.
An aphid sucks out plant sap. An aphid has a feeding needle which it pushes into a plant stem and then sucks out sugar and other nutients through it.
