Question

why carnivorous plants are called so?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Any animal that derives the bulk of its nourishment from other animals (that includes insects) is a carnivore. ... The reason they're called carnivorous and not insectivorous is that they're not all dependent on insects. Some of the larger tropical pitcher plants are known to trap birds and mammals, too.

They are often called insectivorous plants, because they usually trap insects. Since they get some of their food from animals, carnivorous plants can 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

Answer:

Insectivorous plants are often called carnivorous plants because they usually trap and digest the insects to obtain their required nutrients.
