Question

Difference between parasitic plants saprophytic plants insectivorous plants

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi there!

A plant which lives on or inside another organism called host and derives the food from it are called parasitic plants.

The plants that secrete digestive juices on the dead and decaying organic matter and convert it into a solution from which they absorb nutrients are called saprophytic plants.

The plants that are capable of trapping insects and digesting them are called insectivorous plants.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Saprophytic plants depend on dead and decaying plants.Eg: fungi, bread mould

Parasitic plants are heterotrophs that depend on their host or the living organism in which it is living for their nutrition. Eg: dodder, rafflesia

Insectivorous plants are carnivorous plants that can make their own food, but the soil on which they grow on is nitrogen deficient, so they have to depend on insects for nitrogen. Eg: pitcher plant, Venus flyttap
