To be a predator, the organism naturally preys on other organisms. By defining a herbivore, means that it is an organism which feeds on plants. Organisms are individual animals, plants and single-celled life forms (basically, all that are alive are organisms). Plants are organisms, which proves the fact that a herbivore is a predator as it feeds on other organisms.
