The name for organisms that eat producers is Consumers.Generically, 'producers' or 'autotrophs' make their own food from Water, Carbon dioxide and the energy in Sunlight and 'consumers' or 'heterotrophs' get their food/energy by eating producers.

However, consumers can be subdivided into:-

Herbivores (which only eat producers, primary consumers - e.g. Zebra, Rabbits)

Carnivores (which predate and eat herbivores, secondary consumers - e.g. Tigers, Sharks)

Omnivores (which can eat both herbivores and producers - e.g. Humans, Pigs)

There are also those organisms which break down and decompose producers and consumers when they die.
