Yes, aphids eat plants. The insects in question (Aphidoidea family) have piercing, sipping mouthparts that break through plant tissue to remove internal fluids. Aphid infestations leave plants deprived of the liquids that circulate dissolved nutrients from the soil and life-sustaining starches and sugars from photosynthetic interactions between chlorophyll and sunlight.
