The plant you are referring to is likely the water bladderwort, a type of carnivorous plant belonging to the genus Utricularia. Its hollow, bladder-like leaves create a vacuum that traps small aquatic insects and microorganisms when they come into contact with the trap's trigger hairs. This adaptation allows the plant to supplement its nutrient intake in nutrient-poor aquatic environments. Water bladderworts are commonly found in freshwater habitats, such as ponds and marshes.
