It is important for the animals to eat the plant because, if they don't the animal will die and we people will not have animals to eat.
Animals are dependant on plants because of the ongoing food chain. For example: Small animals eat plants, and large animals eat small animals. So if there were no plants the smallest animals would not be able to eat, so would die out, and larger animals would not be able to eat either, so they would also die.
Animals must eat their food because they might die. It is also because just like humans eat food, animals have to eat food.
