the animals would eventually die.
only the animals that eat plants would be affected; the meat eating animals would thrive.

Explanation:

Plants are the base of most ecosystem food webs, producing energy via photosynthesis for herbivores, which in turn feed carnivores. Without plants, herbivores would die first, followed by carnivores that rely on them, leading to all animals in the ecosystem eventually dying.

The animals would eventually die.
