The trigger hairs in the Venus Flytrap help it catch food. A Venus Flytrap's mouth has the triggers hairs on its base so when the fly lands on it and touches a couple of the triggers hairs, it triggers the mouth to close. This is an important and valuable adaptation for the plant in order to survive.
