The characteristic that distinguishes animals from plants is:
**Animals consume other organisms.**
While both animals and plants are made of cells and reproduce, the primary distinction is that animals are typically heterotrophic, meaning they obtain energy by consuming other organisms, whereas plants are autotrophic and produce their own food through photosynthesis.
