Question

Why does a pitcher plant feed on insects even though it is green in colour?

Answer 1

Pitcher plant contains chlorophyll; hence it is capable of preparing its own food like green plants. But pitcher plant eats insects because it grows in swamps or bog areas where the soil is deficient in nitrogen mineral.

Answer 2

Heya !!!

Here's your answer !!!

Pitcher plant contains chlorophyll that means that it's an autotrophic plant ...

They grow in nitrogen deficient soil... hence they don't have efficient nitrogen for their needs...

So they trap the insects using the pitcher to fulfill their nitrogen needs...
