Animals that are classified as consumers eat or consume other things. An example of this is a human. We consume plants and (usually) meat. The opposite of this is a producer to makes or produces its own food. An example of this is grass. Through photosynthesis, where the grass needs water, carbon dioxide, sunlight, and nutrients from the soil, the grass is able to produce its own form of food.
