Answer:
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.
Explanation:
Foraging, flying or crawling insects such as flies are attracted to the cavity formed by the cupped leaf, often by visual lures such as anthocyanin pigments, and nectar bribes. The rim of the pitcher(peristome) is slippery, when moistened by condensation or nectar, causing insects to fall into the trap.
