Some herbvivores also eat the roots, fruits, and the flowers, but most herbivores mainly eat the green leaves right? I understand animals not eating the whole tree trunk, but if some animals can eat roots, surely they can eat the branches too right? I tried googling but I couldn’t find anything other than insects specialized in eat through tree barks.

so leaves are like the ultimate fast food for herbivores. easy to digest and packed with nutrients. roots and branches are tougher and take longer to chew. plus leaves are usually easier to reach than the branches. kinda like how we go for chips instead of carrots when snacking. guess it’s all about efficiency and convenience.
