Omnivore.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The pig is an omnivore.An omnivore (from Latin: omne all, everything; vorare to devour) is a species of animal who are "... generalized feeders, with neither carnivore nor herbivore specializations for acquiring or processing food, and who are capable of consuming and do consume both animal protein and vegetation."[1]
The teeth of omnivorous animals are less specialized than those herbivores and carnivores. This is an important distinction because it allows them to do both grinding and tearing efficiently. The ability to do both is given by a mixture of sharp cutting teeth and flat grinding teeth. The human jaw structure is a well known example, as the incisors and canines are good for biting and the molars are good for grinding.
Omnivore is a species designation. Being an omnivorous species does not mean all animals in that species are required to eat both meat and plants. It also does not mean that the animals eat equal amounts of meat and plants.

Without more information, I can't be sure how to answer your question. The term for this is omnivore. If you're looking for an example, homosapiens are omnivores. Homosapiens is the technical species name for humans.
