Herbivores are not considered parasites because they primarily consume plant material for sustenance, which does not typically harm the host plant in a way that is detrimental to its survival. While herbivores may negatively impact individual plants, they generally do not live off of or exploit their hosts in a manner that leads to the host's death or significant harm, which is a characteristic feature of parasitism. Instead, herbivory can often be part of a natural ecological balance, allowing for plant growth and regeneration.
