How can scientists say that the Iguanodon is a herbivore?

Was the iguanodon a plant or flesh eater?
Iguanodon was a plant eater, or herbivore. Its teeth were designed for plant eating, and their jaws had evolved the ability to chew, which assisted with digesting vegetation. Chewing isn't a necessary adaptation in carnivores, because meat doesn't contain cell walls and is thus easier to digest than plants.
Why do deinonychus eat iguanodon?
Deinonychus lived between 115 and 108 million years ago in North America, while Iguanodon lived between 126 and 125 million years ago in Europe. Thus, Deinonychus never would have encountered Iguanodon. Fossil evidence shows that Deinonychus often ate the remains of Tenontosaurus, a 20+ foot long herbivore that weighed up to 2 tons. Whether the Deinonychus were scavenging or had hunted the Tenontosaurus in a pack is unknown. Even if it did hunt large herbivores in a pack, though, Iguanodon was nearly twice as large as Tenontosaurus, so in the case that some Deinonychus did come across an Iguanodon, it probably would have been very difficult for a pack of Deinonychus to hunt and kill an adult Iguanodon. A young Iguanodon would have been easy prey for Deinonychus, though.

Iguanodon was a plant eater, or herbivore. Using its beak, it would have cropped off the leaves it was going to eat and then it would have chewed them to aid digestion. Chewing was a new adaptation that didn't exist in many other dinosaurs at that time.
Who were the enemy of iguanodon?
The main enemy of the iguanodon, as of many of the dinosaurs, was the Tyrannosaurus Rex. But, as it was back in the dinosaur age, any carnivore larger than a specific type of dinosaur was the enemy, so the iguanodon had quite a few enemies.
