Terms for what something eats can get pretty specific. at the most general level something that eats ONLY plant matter would be called an obligate herbivore. These organisms are quite rare, however. Even ungulates that seem to only eat grass and low growing plants actually eat insects and other small organisms that live on the plants they eat.

Depending on exactly what kind of plants it eats the term can become more tailored to that organism. seeds, berries, grasses, bark, sap. So on and so fourth.
