Answer:
The pitcher plant eats only insects to get nitrogen. This pitcher plant roots are fixed but still the body can move. And hence can eat.

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.
