Can sundews absorb nitrates best through their roots or through their leaves?
Their leaves I think. Sundews grow in bogs where nitrates in the ground are in short supply, so basically they aren't as adapted in collecting nitrates through the soil. They adapted in order to obtain nitrates from else where. Insects that land on their leaves and are trapped by the sticky substance are digested for their nitrate intake.
