Answer:
These plants (e.g. pitcher plant) are green and carry out photosynthesis to obtain a part of the food required by them. But they do not get the nitrogen from the soil in which they grow. So, insectivorous or carnivorous plants feed on insects to obtain the nitrogen needed for their growth.

Answer:
Insectivorous plants such as pitcher plants or Venus flytrap show heterotrophic nutrition as well as autotrophic nutrition. ... The plants absorb nitrogen from digesting the insects and then they perform the process of photosynthesis. The Insectivorous plants trap insects, digest them, and use them as a source of nitrogen.
