If you're hollow inside, do you really have to eat?

I can answer, but it would be full of spoilers.
The whole thing is a mask anyway. If it eats at all, it probably just pulls the food into its void-body and absorbs it. The Knight has no mouth of which to speak.

it's a Lucane, it's a real life insect, most of the bugs you find in the game are real irl

I'd say they're horns and that the PC doesn't eat. You know? Being a (hopefully) completely hollow vessel meant to seal away a god of light and all. Would likely have to be designed to not require food or water at all for such a task.

They are horns. The Knight doesn't actually have a mouth, nor do they seem to eat or even smell.
Most of the bugs that are native to Hallownest wear some form of mask, usually in the form of faceplate that hides everything except for their eyes. The Knight's mask is different, by which I mean that it envelopes their entire head, seemingly fused to their body.
A few characters like the Elderbug and Zote have masks that are similarly affixed to their heads. However, unlike the Knight, they have opening for their mouths, while the Knight does not. Some of the npcs will comment on the Knight's unusual physiology.

You may notice that interacting with npcs prompts you to "listen" to them rather than "talk" to them. This is attributed to the Knight's lack of mechanism to speak.

A more indepth summation would require some spoilers.

All I imagine is the Knight just pointing to things that it wants to buy in stores or nodding and shaking their head to yes or no questions. Seeing as that'd be the extent in which it can communicate outside of writing.
