Solution
The correct option is D Cuscuta
- Venusflytrap, drosera and utricularia are examples of insectivorous plants. On the other hand, cuscuta is a parasitic plant.
- Cuscuta lacks chlorophyll. It grows on other living plants (host). It develops special roots called haustoria, which penetrates into host tissues and absorb nutrients from them. This results in weakening of the host plant.
- Insectivorous plants have chlorophyll. But they grow on nitrogen-deficient soils. So, in order to compensate for nitrogen deficiency they feed on insects.
