No. Sundew is a carnivorous plant than eats insects.
Insectivorous plants (flycatcher, sundew and slug catcher, to name only three) can grow in nutrient (mineral) deficient soils because they can catch insects and absorb the insect's nutrients.
every continent except antarctica. thay catch there own food.
Sundew plants have adapted to living in wet moorland that have an acid PH. Unlike other plants, sundew get their nutrients by capturing flies that stick to them and are then absorbed into the plant.

The Sundew will digest any insect that sticks to its sticky pads.
Venus Fly Trap, Pitcher plants, sundew
The sundew plant captures and digests its prey by using sticky tentacles on its leaves to trap insects. Once an insect is caught, the plant secretes enzymes to break down the insect's body for nutrients.
Both the Venus flytrap and sundew are carnivorous plants that have evolved to capture and digest insects for nutrients. They attract prey using unique mechanisms; the Venus flytrap employs hinged leaves that snap shut when triggered by unsuspecting insects, while the sundew uses sticky glandular hairs on its leaves to trap prey. Additionally, both plants thrive in nutrient-poor environments and have adapted to supplement their diets through these insect-catching strategies.
By enzymatic process, they "digest" the body of the insect as nourishment.
an insect touches a leaf of a sundew plant then the leaf slowly moves and covers the insect with all those sticky stuff and then digest it and the nutrients go in the plant by tiny holes leading to the roots.
