Plants make chlorophyll through the process of photosynthesis to provide nutrition ti the plant. Animals can not make their own food and must hunt and gather to get the nutrition needed for survival. Animals also have a more complex dietary need including, carbohydrates and vitamins.

Grazing animals (herbivores) eat grasses, and predating animals (carnivores) kill and eat the grazers. Without plants, life would not exist, as the food chain would not exist.
Humans are omnivores (except vegans and vegetarians) as we eat both plants and animals, but we still need grazers to eat plants in the first place.

How do animals get food from nature?

Animals get their nutrition much the same way as humans do. They find nutrition in what they eat, whether it be in plants and/or other animals. (Herbivores find nutrition solely in plants; Carnivores get nutrition from eating other animals; Omnivores get nutrition both from eating other animals as well as plants.) Animals can also gain nutrition from the water they drink. Water often contains certain vitamins and minerals that can be very beneficial (and sometimes dangerous) to an animal's health. Where an animal finds its nutrition specifically depends on what kind of animal it is and what kind of habitat it lives in.
