Answer:
Tomato and tulsi are herbaceous plants, while dodder and pitcher plants are insectivorous.
Explanation:
Herbs are small plants with a short, soft/tender, green stem. Herbs rarely grow taller than 1.5 metres. They have flexible, non-woody stems. A herb, such as tomato, mint, paddy, etc., may or may not have branches.
Pitcher plant is an insectivorous plant that gets its nitrogen from trapping and eating insects. A pitcher plant's leaf is modified to form a pitcher-like structure. When an insect sits on the pitcher, the pitcher's lid closes, trapping the insect inside. The enzymes secreted by the plant then digest the insect. In this way, pitcher plants meet their nitrogen needs by feeding on insects.
Dodder (Amar bel) is a plant parasite that is mostly leafless and feeds on the host plant. It is a parasitic plant with vine-like sucking roots known as haustoria. The nutrients from the host plant are absorbed by these roots. Dodder attaches itself to the host plant using its special roots. It loses its root system once it has wrapped itself around the host plant. It then obtains all of the host plant's nutrient requirements.
