Question - What are insectivorous plants?
Give one example.
Answer - The plants that trap and digest
insects are called insectivorous plants.
Although these plants perform
photosynthesis for preparing food, they trap
insects because they grow in swampy and
rócky areas where the soil does not have nutrients like nitrogen that they need to grow. So, they trap insects to fulfil the need of nutrients. Examples - Venus flytrap, Pitcher plant, Sundew plant etc.
