In animals the macronutrients are those foods which provide energy (carbohydrates, proteins, fats).In plants there are 3 classes of macronutrients which include structural, primary and secondary minerals.

These are macronutrients because they are needed in large numbers (macro = large) to support the life processes of the animal or plant.
