Are centipedes herbivores while millipedes are predators?

Centipedes are not herbivores; they are primarily carnivorous and act as predators, feeding on insects and other small animals. They have venomous claws, which they use to capture and immobilize their prey. Millipedes, on the other hand, are primarily detritivores or decomposers, feeding on decaying plant material. While they may occasionally feed on live plant matter, they do not hunt in the predatory sense like centipedes.

Therefore, the statement incorrectly identifies the feeding habits of both types of organisms, leading to the conclusion that the correct answer is that the statement is false.
