Answer:
yes pitcher plant is autotroph but not completely
Explanation:
1)pitcher plant is insectivorous plant and disests insects for getting nutrition
2)It has green leaves due to which it is able to perform photosynthesis
3) the soil on which it grows mainly dont have nutritions due to which it depends on insects to get nutrition
SINCE IT DONT GET PROPER NUTRITION ACCORDING TO NEED FROM PHOTOSYNTHESIS IT DERIVES ITS NUTRITION FROM INSECTS....
HENCE PITCHER PLANT LIKE OTHER INSECTIVOROUS PLANT IT IS ALSO RATIONALLY AUTOTROPH
