Solution

Rumination is the process through which animals burp out the partially digested food from their stomach and chew it all over again to digest it further. This process is used to digest the food that is difficult to break down.

Grass contains a very complex compound called the cellulose, which difficult to digest. Hence, all the herbivores that mostly feed on grass carry out rumination.
