Why are insectivorous plants unusual? Give Examples​

Answer 1

Answer:

Aquatic plants require special adaptations for living submerged in water, or at the water's surface. The most common adaptation is the presence of lightweight internal packing cells, aerenchyma, but floating leaves and finely dissected leaves are also common.

Most plants (including insectivorous plants) are autotrophs (make their own food with the help of plastids). But Nepenthes, Dionea, Drosera etc. can trap insects (and other small organisms to supplement their nutrition (partly heterotrophic) to overcome nitrogen deficiency (they grow in nitrogen deficient soil).
