Question

Why do insectivorous plants trap insects? Name any two insectivorous plants.

Answer 1

Insectivorous plants:

Insectivorous plants generally grow in the soil with low levels of nitrogen. The leaves of these plants are modified to form traps. Insectivorous plants trap insects to derive nutrients that they cannot obtain from soil. These plants consume insects to get their supply of nitrogenous compounds.

Examples: Pitcher plant and Utricularia.
