Finally, as tadpoles grow into frogs, they further contribute to the ecosystem by consuming insects and serving as both predator and prey in the food web.

Can plants eat plants?

Interesting question. Plants don't really "eat". Plants produce sugars from photosynthesis, even plants that seem to "eat" insects are not trapping insects for energy, but for other nutrients such as nitrogen. With this being said, when a plant dies and its nutrients return to the soil, those ions and molecules are absorbed by the root systems of the plants in the immediate area. So in the traditional sense, Plants do not eat other plants, but they are able to derive some of their required molecules from their fallen brothers.
