Because they are called carnivorous . Carnivorous mean who eat grass or plants,
Animals which eat plants (which are also living things) are called herbivores. Animals which feed mainly on other animals are termed carnivores. Some animals specialise in eating insects and they are termed insectivores and animals which have a mixed diet that can include meat and plants are called omnivores. There are also some plants which can ingest small mammals, birds or insects, these are usually referred to as insectivorous or carnivorous plants.
There are some carnivorous plants.
Carnivorous plants can be beneficial by controlling populations of pest insects in an ecosystem. They can help in reducing the number of harmful insects around crops or in controlling insect-borne diseases. Some carnivorous plants can also be used for scientific research and have potential medicinal properties, making them valuable resources for pharmaceutical and botanical studies.
Because insect eat plants, some plants evolved in response into poisonous or carnivorous species.Coevolution is just used to describe an organism that evolves in response to another.

There are plants that are carnivorous. Venus fly traps and other carnivorous plants obtain their nitrogen and other mineral by eating insects and sometimes a bigger animal. This seemingly heterotrophic behavior can be observed because they live in a poor-soil region.
Well the reason why it's hard to classify carnivorous is becauseCarnivorous plants have the most bizarre adaptations to low-nutrient environments. These plants obtain some nutrients by trapping and digesting various invertebrates, and occasionally even small frogs and mammals. Because insects are one of the most common prey items for most carnivorous plants, they are sometimes called insectivorous plants. It is not surprising that the most common habitat for these plants is in bogs and fens, where nutrient concentrations are low but water and sunshine seasonally abundant. As many as thirteen species of carnivorous plants have been found in asinglebog (Folkerts, 1982). Most plants absorb nitrogen from the soil through their roots. But carnivorous plants absorb nitrogen from their animal prey through their leaves specially modified as traps.
Because they are carnivores. They eat anmals not the food they produce.
every one, except carnivorous plants which get some food from insects. I dont know a one word answer.
The plants that are currently listed as carnivorous are carnivorous because the soil in which they live in is too poor in nutrients to sustain them for long. They have adapted through evolution to trap and "digest" living organisms to completely sustain them. They require certain substances in the insects around them (such as potassium) that are not present in the soil to produce flowers, which take quite a bit of energy to produce.

I wouldn't recommend spitting on your plants. There are some insects that lay eggs on plants that are known to harm plants called aphids.
