Phytophagous means herbivorous or plant-eating.
Phytophagous insects are insects that primarily feed on plants for sustenance. They can cause damage to crops and vegetation by consuming plant materials such as leaves, stems, fruits, and roots. Some examples of phytophagous insects include beetles, caterpillars, and aphids.
