No, mimosa is not a carnivorous plant. The most well-known species, Mimosa pudica, is a sensitive plant that responds to touch by folding its leaves, but it primarily obtains nutrients through photosynthesis and soil absorption. Carnivorous plants, like Venus flytraps and pitcher plants, have evolved specialized mechanisms to trap and digest insects for additional nutrients. Mimosa does not possess these adaptations.
