Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Insectivorous plants -

• Plants that captures and digests insects for nutrition are called insectivorous plants.
• For example, venus flytrap, pitcher plant, bladderworts, waterwheel plants, etc.
• These plants captures insects either passively (like pitcher plant) or actively (like venus flytrap).
• Then digestive enzymes are secreted and energy is derived from this.
• Therefore, they are called insectivorous plants.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you..
