ANSWER
Insectivorous plants trap insects because they grow in soil which is usually thin and is also poor in nutrients, so they eat insects to fulfil their nutrient requirement

Answer:
They catch them for nutrients.
Explanation:
Carnivorous plants grow in areas which lack nutrients like nitrogen. They cannot survive without nutrients as they will grow weak and ultimately die.
Thus they catch insects to get these nutrients and extract the nutrients from them.
