Answer:
Insectivorous plants are plants that derive some of their nutrients from trapping and consuming animals or protozoan. The benefit they derive from their catch varies considerably; in some species it might include a small part of their nutrient intake and in others it might be an indispensable source of nutrients. As a rule, however, such animal food, however valuable it might be as a source of certain critically important minerals, is not the plants' major source of energy, which they generally derive mainly from photosynthesis.

Insectivorous plants (often called carnivorous) carry out photosynthesis and colonise environments which lack nitrogen and minerals, and where competition with other plants is minimal.
They integrate the deficiency of nutrients by using organic matter obtained from insects and small animals. They have therefore deeply modified the shape of their leaves, which are used to appeal, capture, and digest their prey and absorb the products of digestion. Their leaves are both active and passive traps, i.e., they move according to variations in the turgor of their cells.
Examples of active traps are the leaves of Venus' fly trap (Dionaea muscipula Ellis) which, in half a second, snap shut along their midline, as soon as six sensitive hairs on their surface are stimulated by prey.
