Plants that consume insects are known as insectivorous plants, and they get their nutrition from eating insects and other creatures.
Explanation:
- Venus fly trap is an example of an insect-eating plant. Its book-like leaves exude a fragrant odour and are separated into two lobes, each with little trigger hairs.
- Ion channels at the base of the hair open and provide electrochemical signals, which modify cells in the midrib and allow the lobes to close when these are bent with the landing of an insect like a fly.
- As a result, insects that come close to the lobes become trapped inside the plant between the two lobes. The right-sized insect is subsequently grabbed, sealed inside by the finger-like cilia, and digested.
- Venus flytrap, bladderwort, cobra lily, drosera or sundews, and pitcher plant are examples of insectivorous plants.
