herbivores only eat plants so they need big teeth to grind down the plants but they also need incisors to actually tear the leaf off the plant.

incisors
Herbivores have flat molars and sharp incisors that are used for grinding and tearing plant material, respectively. Their teeth are adapted to help them chew tough plant fibers and extract nutrients from vegetation. Unlike carnivores, herbivores do not have sharp, pointed teeth for tearing flesh.
My incisors are the sharp, front teeth used for biting and cutting food.
It allows the animal to rip and tear apart the meat of whatever animal they happen to be eating.
Sawgrass has sharp edges due to its serrated leaf structure, which is an adaptation to its wetland environment. The sharp margins help deter herbivores from feeding on it, as the edges can cause discomfort or injury. Additionally, these serrations can help the plant efficiently capture and channel water in its ecosystem. This characteristic is essential for its survival in the dense, competitive habitats where it typically grows.
Humans normally have eight (8) incisors, two of each type. In many herbivorous or omnivorous mammals, such as the human and the horse, they are adapted for shearing sharply. In cats, the incisors are small; biting off meat is done with the canines and the carnassials.
Yes, some herbivores have claws for various purposes, such as digging for food, self-defense, or climbing. For example, deer have hooves with sharp edges that can act as "claws" for defense.
They are known as the Canine
Incisors
They have sharp incisors and canine teeth.
Herbivores have a little of sharp tooth, carnivore has a lot of sharp but not all
