Question
Why herbivores also known as first order consumers?

Answer
The rest of the food is preserved for animals. Thus the plants are known as the producers while animals are known as the consumers. The plant-eating or herbivorous animals eat the food preserved by the plants. So the herbivorous animals are the first order consumers.
