Herbivores primarily eat **plant material**, which includes foliage, fruits, seeds, and other vascular tissues. They also encompass animals that consume non-vascular autotrophs like mosses, algae, and lichens. However, herbivores do not include those that feed on decomposed plant matter or fungi. As a result of their plant-based diet, herbivores possess mouth structures adapted for breaking down plant materials and digestive systems equipped with special enzymes to digest polysaccharides found in plants [1].
