The Venus flytrap obtains nutrients primarily through trapping and digesting insects and Spiders. When an unsuspecting prey touches the sensitive hairs inside its modified leaves, the trap quickly closes, capturing the prey. The plant then secretes digestive enzymes to break down the soft tissues of the captured organism, allowing it to absorb essential nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus. This adaptation helps the Venus flytrap thrive in nutrient-poor, acidic soils where it typically grows.
