In tropical rainforests, buttress roots are primarily consumed by a variety of herbivores, including insects, mammals, and some reptiles. Large animals like tapirs, peccaries, and various primates may strip bark or nibble on softer root tissues. Additionally, decomposers like fungi and bacteria play a crucial role in breaking down the organic matter of buttress roots, further contributing to the ecosystem's nutrient cycling.
