I believe the answer is:

omnivore

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it'll eat away at everything' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'move in or out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'move'+'in'+'or'='moveinor'
'moveinor' anagrammed gives 'OMNIVORE'.

'as' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for omnivore that I've seen before include "unfussy diner" , "Eater of everything" , "Eater of all things" , "Creature eating any type of food" , "It will eat anything, animal or vegetable" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
