Insects are primarily classified as heterotrophic organisms, specifically as herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores, depending on their diet. Herbivorous insects feed on plants, carnivorous insects prey on other animals, and omnivorous insects consume both plant and animal matter. They obtain their energy and nutrients by consuming organic material, which they then break down through various digestive processes. This classification highlights their role in ecosystems as consumers in food webs.
