The hanging pitcher plant primarily functions as a carnivorous plant that captures and digests insects and other small organisms. Its food chain begins with the plant itself, which uses photosynthesis to produce energy. When insects are attracted to the nectar and trapped in the fluid-filled pitcher, they are digested by enzymes, providing nutrients to the plant. This process helps sustain the plant while also contributing to the ecosystem by managing insect populations.
