What makes an organism a herbivore?

Answer 1

The various classes you describe all have to do with eating. The producer grows it's food. There are various birds, mammals who "farm" within their environment. The consumer lives off the available food source but does not necessarily farm it's environment. An herbivore is a grass eater. It consumes grasses such as oats, wheat, or barley. It will also eat various fruit and nuts. This is the vegetarian of the animal kingdom. The carnivore is one who eats meat. It kills another animal in order to feed itself. The scavenger falls under this category even though it does not kill the animal. The scavenger is the garbage collector of the animal kingdom. The omnivore is the creature that eats both plant and meat. It might be a producer as well, but it will survive nicely on any available food supply. Man falls under this category.

Answer 2

An organism is considered a herbivore if it primarily consumes plant material as its main source of food. Herbivores have adaptations such as specialized teeth for chewing plant material and digestive systems capable of breaking down cellulose found in plants. They obtain nutrients from plants and play a crucial role in the ecosystem by controlling plant growth.
