Question

insect is picture plant or parasite​

Answer 1

Answer:

What is a pitcher plant, a parasite, or not? A pitcher plant doesn’t depend on another organism to support it in a parasitic relationship, they grow and receiver nutrients directly from the soil, whereas a parasitic plant (mistletoe, for example) feeds from a host plant.

Pitcher plants do, however, have another food source… they are carnivorous, catching insects in the “pitcher”, or hollow tube of their stem. When the insect enters the stem, a flap can close and trap it, and the plant “digests” the insect for nutrients. Is it parasitic? No, but it is a carnivore.
