A vegetarian is a Human being and a herbivore is an animal.
Herbivore is a descriptive term used by biologists to indicate the overall diet of a species which grazes on grasses.
Herbivore (Science: biology, zoology) An animal that consumes herbaceous vegetation. Any animal that feeds chiefly on grass and other plants; horses are herbivores; the sauropod dinosaurs were apparently herbivores. Animals that consume plant material as a source of obtaining energy. (http://www.biology-online.org/dictionary…
Animals which eat primarily fruits are called frugivores, those that eat leaves are called folivores and those which consume fungi are called fungivores. Most people are unfamiliar with these terms. Anyway, vegetarians are omnivores as they still consume animal products. Vegans could be described as herbivores but it isn't an appropriate adjective since we are still members of an omnivorous species.

Vegetarian - a human that chooses to eat only plants.
Herbivores are animals that only eat plants because that's what their anatomy calls for.

An herbivore is a biological classification of your diet based upon your species. A deer that is fed a hamburger is still an herbivore.
A vegetarian is a social classification of your diet based upon your choices. A human who refuses to eat meat is an omnivore choosing a vegetarian diet.
