No, they don't! Some animals make home in plants and trees while others also use plants or leaves for insulation of underground homes. I have seen wildcats use plants to hide or disguise their kill so they can come back later and enjoy their meal.

Green plants use a process called photosynthesis to make food from sunlight. Only green plants can make their own food.

How do plants animals and fungi get their food?

The sun is where all things get their food but it isn't as simple as that. Plants use sunlight to make food for themselves using carbon dioxide and water. Others like animals have to base their diet on those plants. Even those animals that eat only meat, eat animals that eat plants. Cats are carnivores and only eat meat but those meat animals eat plants. The same is true of fungi except they use plants that are already dead and break them down.

How do animals depend on the plants?

Animals depend on plants because plants are the primary producers of food. All the food available on earth is indirectly derived from plants.

It is these compounds that are further broken down inside the body of secondary and tertiary consumers to obtain energy. We term the sources of energy as food. Besides food, plants invariably purify the atmosphere by releasing oxygen- the indispensable component of respiration.
