Herbivory is when herbivores eat the plants. They usually do not kill the plants. The plants try to defend themselves from the herbivores. And because of that the herbivores have began to evolve too

A herbavory is like where a herbivore have evolved ways to overcome plant defenses. A herbavore are animals that eat plants. A herbavore would be like a rabbit! They do not often kill the plants that they eat, they just harm them.

Herbivory deals with herbivores. Herbivores are organisms that just eat plants. They're not actually killing the plants tho. Also some plants have special defenses. But some herbivores have evolved ways to overcome these.

Herbivory is where animals eat plants. The animals do not kill the plants they just take a part of them. The herbivores have evolved so that they would be able to deal with the the plants.

Herbivory is when herbivores eat the plants. An example would be cows because they eat plants and grass. Normally though the plants will survive because they do not pull out the roots so they can grow back. Sometimes too the plants will produce toxins to prevent them from getting eaten.

Herbivory is the state orcondition of feeding on plants. Herbivores are animals that eat plants. They don’t often kill the plants they eat. Plants will protect themselves by producing chemical that make them taste bad or compounds that will make animals sick if they eat them.
Plant toxins will make some animals inedible to predators.

Herbivores eating plants is called herbivory. They usually do not kill the plants. The plants try to defend themselves from the herbivores. And because of that the herbivores have begun to evolve.
