Define "stuff." The vast majority of a cow's diet is comprised of grass in its various forms (depending how it was harvested and fed to cattle), so no.

How do cows rely on plants?

They keep the grass down without the farmer having to turn on a tractor and hook up a mower to mow the grass him or herself. While he or she's got cows eating the grass, the farmer can be free to do other things that need to be done. Plus the grass benefits from the grazing cows, enabling the grass to grow more healthier when it is being grazed; the feces and urine from the cows also aid in grass growth. The deposition of manure leaves the farmer one less job to do as well; he/she doesn't need to spread manure that would've otherwise accumulated in the drylot if he/she had to feed the cows in a drylot instead of having them get their on food out on the pasture.

What cows and goats eat?

Goats can and quite often do eat grass just like cows do. Cows will eat leaves as well: grass is pretty much all leaf anyway, but cows will eat leaves off of forbs, trees and shrubs as much as possible or as high as they reach. However, goats are not roughage grazers, rather they are what are called "selective grazers" like deer are, meaning they like or choose to eat leaves from forbs and shrubs than grass.
