Answer:

Mode of nutrition in plants can be autotrophic or heterotrophic. The autotrophs contain chlorophyll and prepare their own food in the presence of sunlight by a process called photosynthesis.

The heterotrophs do not have chlorophyll, hence they cannot prepare their own food. They depend on other plants and animals for food.

The heterotrophic mode of nutrition can be divided into following categories:

1) Parasitic: These plants derive food from the host plant.They do not have leaves. Example of parasitic plant is cuscuta.

2) Symbiotic: These plants too do not have chlorophyll. They gro on the dead and decaying organic matter and derive food from this dead and decaying plant matter. Example is mushroom

Insectivorous plants like pitcher plant and venus-fly-trap are partial heterotrophs since, they can prepare their food but still trap insects to get nitrogenous insects.
