Are plants considered prey?
Predation refers to an interaction between two species where one species (the predator) completely consumes another species (the prey), resulting in the death of the prey species. Since plant consumers (herbivores) usually don't kill the plant, a plant is rarely considered prey.Animals that consume parts of other animals, but don't kill the host are called parasites. Plants can host parasites(both plant and animal), such as mistletoes and aphids). Although herbivores are usually not considered to be parasites, a semantic case can be made to include herbivores among parasites.
