Question

If pitcher plant is green in colour and carries on photosynthesis then why does it feed on insects

Answer 1

It is true that a pitcher plant with chlorophyll can make food in his body...but it is not enough for it to live....so it feeds insects to fill it's hunger.

Answer 2

Heya !!!

Here's the answer !!

But still it's an Insectivorous plant.

✔Pitcher plant, also called as Nepenthes , is a Insectivorous plant that feed on insects.

✔ They grow in nitrogen deficient soils.

✔ Since, they require nitrogen , they feed on insects to fulfil the nitrogen requirements of their body.

✔Hence , Pitcher plant depends (feeds) on insects.
