Guppies will eat a bit of algae now and then but don't expect them to eat plants because they are not plant eaters. They mainly eat tiny crustacea like Daphnia and insect larvae like Mosquito wrigglers. In some places they are put in waterways to control the Mosquitos and are called Mosquito fish.

Guppies will nibble on some aquarium plants, but usually not enough to do any real damage to the plants, they will however eat some algae to supplement their diet.

No. They would eat fish food with plant matter. But odds are they wont touch plants. (Algae sometimes)

Not to their fullest. Guppies are carnivores that would eat algae and flakes. They will eat flakes that contain plant matter, which isn't the healthiest for them, but not direct plants.
