Question

In what unique manner does an insectivorous plant derives its nutrition? Give reason.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: Cuscuta derives its nutrition using an association where it deprives its host of all valuable nutrients and absorbs them itself. Hence, it is called a parasitic plant.

Answer 2

Answer:

In general, plants absorb nitrogen and phosphorus from the soil through their roots. Insectivorous plants, however, absorb nitrogen and phosphorus from their animal prey through their leaves specially modified as traps. Thus, at simplest, insectivorous plants trap animals and absorb nutrients from the trapped prey.
