granivore
This term is primarily used in biological and ecological contexts to categorize animals based on their dietary habits. It carries a neutral, scientific tone and is rarely used in casual conversation, where a speaker would more likely say "seed-eater."
Because it is a technical classification, it is often grouped with related terms like herbivore, carnivore, and omnivore to describe the trophic level of a species within an ecosystem.
