plant eaters
Leaf and grass-feeders
Plant eaters are animals that feed exclusively or primarily on vegetation—herbivores.
The term is straightforward and often used in children's educational materials or casual speech: Dinosaurs were divided into meat eaters and plant eaters.
It serves as a plain English alternative to the scientific term herbivore.
