Question

Insectivorous plants rely on insects for nutritional needs (give reason)

Answer 1

Answer:

Insectivorous means insect-eating, these plants derive most of their nutrition from the insects, that they trap and consume. These plants grow in humid areas, where plenty of sunlight and moisture is found. They are found in the nitrogen deficient soil. That is why they trap and digest insects to absorb nutrients.

Answer 2

Answer:

Insectivorous plants trap insects because they grow in soil which is usually thin and is also poor in nutrients, so they eat insects to fulfil their nutrient requirement.

Examples. Venus flytrap, pitcher plant, sundew
