No, the diet of the mole (family Talpidae) instead is rich in nuts and such soil food web members as earthworms.
Moles burrow underground after their prey and construct underground pantries in which to store their victims. Their passageways open up air and moisture pore spaces that are needed by the soil and the soil food web members. But at the same time, mole activity can damage plant roots.
Unfortunately, mole damage tends not to be suspected early on. So drastic measures need to be brought to bear on the plant's survival. But one sign of root damage, whether or not by moles, is browning and dying of parts furthest away from the roots. This happens because the roots lack enough dissolved nutrients to feed all parts of the plant. The beneficiaries of such a situation will be those parts closest to the roots, because they still can access the ever dwindling food supplies. But the casualties - those parts furthest away - will not.
