Best Answer

Insectivorous plants depend upon insects for nutrition.For example Nepenthes is an insectivorous plant,which has trapleaves.When an insect gets attracted by the fragnance,it flies on pitcher of the plant.Here it gets trapped in the downwardly projected leaves,and is finally digested by hydrolytic enzymes released by the plant,thus the nutrients are absorbed.
