Question

why are some plant called insectivorous plants? give reason.

Answer 1

They are often called insectivorous plants, because they usually trap insects. Since they get some of their food from animals, carnivorous plantscan grow in places where the soil is thin, or poor in nutrients. This is true for soils with little nitrogen, such as acidic bogs and rock outcrops

Answer 2

They are called insectivorous plants because they trap insects for nitrogen, as they grow in thin soil which lacks nitrogen.
