Venus Flytraps should constantly be in poor, moist soil. I use New Zealand Long Fibered Sphagnum Moss, as it can hold 20 times its weight in water (It's like a big sponge!) Distilled water, with no additives, or carefully purified water from home is good. Collecting rainwater isn't a bad idea, either.

The leaves on a Venus Flytrap close when touch what is this an example of?

I do not think that it has a specific name for only that. I am not a plant professional but I can tell you that number one; they aren't leaves and number two; It should only be called "the head of the Venus Flytrap closing". It also does not need a capital V since it is not the name of a planet, but the name of a plant (Venus).
