cannibalism
The word parasite comes from a Greek word meaning one who eats at another's table, which is effectively what they do.
A raven or type of bird, is an omnivore. Although it is a scavenger which means it looks for already dead organisms and eats those. But, it is 100% omnivore. It lives in the Mojave Desert. Another omnivore is the coyote but, it eats mostly meat, not much plants such as herbivores consume.
An organism that kills and eats all or part of another organism is called a carnivore.
why does an organisms eat another organisms
Lets say we have an animal that eats plants. The animal that eats the plants is also eaten by lets say a Coyote. If the plant that is being thrived off of were to die or disappear the plant eater would have nothing left to eat. With nothing left to eat it would die. Once it dies the Coyote has nothing else to eat it will die as well.
An outher orginisim eats it
First the deer eats the plant and then is hunted by the coyote. When the coyote dies it decomposes and fertilizes the soil in which a plant grows. Another deer comes along and eats the plant etc.
