1. Rafflesia is a well-known parasitic plant. It's main plant body enters into host plant. Another example is Cuscuta reflexa.
2. Pitcher plant, Venus fly-trap, Sundew, Water-wheel plant are some common insectivorous plants. These plants need to eat insects for an important element -- Nitrogen, as they grow in N2-lacking soil.
3. Fungus are generally saprophytic in nature. So, you can consider many names of fungus as example of saprophytes. I can give you some examples.
Example: Agaricus, yeast, Neurospora, Mucor etc.
Slime moulds are also saprophytic in nature but they are not plants.
Example: Physarum.
Now, Fungi are also not plants. According to modern classification they are placed in a totally different kingdom. Plants are not saprophytic in general.
Hope this answer will be helpful to you.
