insectivorous plants have chlorophyll they can synthesise their own food , but when the soil nutrients is poor they can trap insects as their food , so they are called as partial heterotrops
eg. nepenthes..

rajendra1510: Insectivorus plants can synthesise their own food but they feed upon insects to fulfill the requirement of nitrogen.That's why insectivorus plants are called partial heterotrophs
