Question

Describe the modifications of leaf in any one insectivorous plant.​

Answer 1

In a pitcher plant, the lamina of the leaf is modified into a pitcher-shaped structure and the apex of the leaf forms a lid-like structure.​

When an insect sits on the rim of the pitcher, the lid closes. The digestive enzymes present in the pitcher, then digests the insect and obtains nutrition from it.​
