Leaf cutter ants are considered herbivores because they primarily feed on plant material, specifically leaves, which they cut and carry back to their nests. However, they do not consume the leaves directly; instead, they use them to cultivate fungi, which serves as their primary food source. This unique relationship with fungi makes them specialized herbivores rather than traditional ones.
