A plant that captures and digests insects either passively (as the common pitcher plant or the sundew) or by the movement of certain organs (as the Venus's-flytrap) — compare droseraceae, lentibulariaceae, sarraceniaceae.

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.

Hope it's help you
