Plants (or at least most plants; there are some exceptions) do not eat any other organism; they create their own food out of water, air, minerals and sunlight. Whereas, all animals have to eat some other organism to survive. Some eat plants and some eat other animals, but every animal eats some kind of organism. So plants produce the food upon which all animals ultimately depend (because even if an animal eats other animals, the animals that it eats depend upon plants).
