Pitcher plants are several different carnivorous plants which have modified leaves known as pitfall traps—a prey-trapping mechanism featuring a deep cavity filled with digestive liquid. The plants attract and drown their prey with nectar. Insectivorous plants trap insects because they grow in soil which is usually thin and is also poor in nutrients, so they eat insects to fulfil their nutrient requirement.
