Plant-eating animals, or herbivores, primarily obtain their energy from the plants they consume. They digest plant materials to extract carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, which serve as their main energy sources. The process often involves specialized adaptations, such as a complex digestive system or symbiotic relationships with microorganisms that help break down tough plant fibers. This energy is then utilized for growth, reproduction, and daily activities.
