Furthermore, from the orcs enthusiastic reaction to meat’s reappearance on the menu, we can surmise that orcs were formerly omnivorous and were forced into a vegetarian diet for unknown reasons.
I’m not sure how much of it is speculation and how much of it is from Tolkien’s work, but I think orcs were theorised to be corrupted elves. That’s to say, they likely still have a reproductive cycle like presumably elves have, they just split off and evolved into their own branch.
I guess, similar to how the work in The Elder Scrolls.

This could be completely wrong though.
