Question

why do insectivorous plant trap insects​

Answer 1

Answer:

Insectivorous means insect-eating, these plants derive most of their nutrition from the insects, that they trap and consume. These plants grow in humid areas, where plenty of sunlight and moisture is found. They are found in the nitrogen deficient soil. That is why they trap and digest insects to absorb nutrients.

Answer 2

Meat-eating, or carnivorous, plants can trap and digest insects and other small animals. They do this to obtain the vital nitrogen that they need to grow. Most plants absorb enough nitrogen from nitrates in the soil.
