Yes, animals need to eat because they are heterotrophs, meaning they obtain energy by consuming other organisms. In contrast, plants are autotrophs, capable of photosynthesis, which allows them to convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into energy and nutrients. This fundamental difference in how they obtain energy explains why animals must eat while plants do not.
