To begin, this question is in the wrong category; pill bugs, are in fact, not insects. The misleading name "pill bug" leads people to believe pill bugs are from the class "Insecta" but rather, they are a part of the subphyla "Crustacea". They are much closer in relation to animals like shrimp and crabs, than to any type of insect. More specifically, pill bugs are actually isopods.
To answer your question as succinctly as possible, pill bugs eat decaying plants and even some living plants. Pill bugs are of no harm to humans, but large populations can greatly damage plant crops in green houses.
