Final answer:
The statement that an organism that eats the remains of dead organisms is called a herbivore is false. A herbivore eats plants, while a decomposer consumes dead organic matter. The correct option is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
An organism that consumes the remains of dead organisms is not referred to as a herbivore, but rather as a decomposer or detritivore. Given this information, the statement presented in the question is false.
A herbivore is an animal that exclusively eats plants (producers). Decomposers include fungi and bacteria, which break down dead material and recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem. Herbivores are part of the consumers classification, but they specifically eat plants to obtain their energy, whereas decomposers consume dead organic matter.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
