A pitcher plant is a round plant that contains water for insects to fall into and drown, and after they drown, their bodies sink to the bottom of the plant and they are absorbed into the plant for their nutrients. Pitcher plants live in soil that does not have many minerals in the ground and they have to get what they need from drowned insects. They are called pitcher plants, because, they contain water and look like pitchers, (or jars, containers), which also hold water. They do not have anything to do with Baseball pitching, if that is what you mean by your question.
