Answer:

these plants feed on insects for their nitrogen requirements. Some parts of such plants get modified to trap insects. For example, the leaf , of the pitcher plant , gets modified to form a pitcher with a lid. The lid is able to open and close the mouth of the pitcher. The lid is able to open and close the mouth of the pitcher. The pitcher is lined with downward -pointing hairs. When an insect enters, it cannot climb back out against the hairs and ultimately falls to the bottom of the leaf, and gets digested by the juices present there.
