There are certain chemicals that the animal needs to 'recharge' its system. They also have not yet adapted to not relying on plants, like carnivores. Plants are probably abundant in many areas where animals that eat them live.
Animals depend on plants for carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. Also because some animals need plants for food. Plants depend on animals for seed dispersal and pollination. Many animals depend on plants. Most animals just eat them, but some animals will you plants as shelter, to hide from predators, and many other reasons. Plants also depend on animals for energy. When an animal dies it provides nutrients for the plants to feed off of.

Plants and animals have different metabolic processes, and plants use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy. While plants may be smaller than some animals, their energy needs depend more on factors like growth rate, environmental conditions, and reproductive strategies rather than just size.
Animals depend on plants because without plants, nothing would have oxygen, lack of oxygen results in death. Also herbivores(animals that feed strictly on plants) depend on plants for food, if the herbivores all died out, all the carnivores(animals that feed strictly on meat) would also die out. Without plants or animals omnivores(animals that feed on plants or animals, humans are omnivores) would also die out. Resulting in a mass extinction.~

The sun
If your talking about the energy we use to live, we get it from the sun, via plants and animals who eat plants.
Energy is stored in the chemical bonds of various molecules. The most common is called ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and this molecule is transferred from the plants and can be used in the animals.
energy
Animals get most of their energy and nutrition from plants. Animals either eat the plants, or eat animals that ate the plants. Also, it gives animals a place to live. Such as Spiders, ants, moles, and other animals. Plants also provide animals oxygen.
Two ways. Eating plants that access the energy of sunlight directly. or, Eating the animals that eat the plants, or eating the animals that eat the animals that eat the plants. All animals are heterotrophs. They can not synthesize their own food.
