All primary consumers, also known as herbivores, share the common trait of primarily feeding on plants or plant-based materials. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem by transferring energy from producers (plants) to higher trophic levels, such as secondary consumers. Additionally, primary consumers often have adaptations, such as specialized teeth and digestive systems, to efficiently process plant matter. Their existence supports the balance of food webs and contributes to the cycling of nutrients in ecosystems.
