Any of numerous usually small arthropod animals of the class Insecta, having an adult stage characterized by three pairs of legs and a body segmented into head, thorax, and abdomen and usually having two pairs of wings. Insects include the flies, crickets, mosquitoes, beetles, butterflies, and bees.

Insects are a class of invertebrates within the phylum Arthropoda. They are characterised by all having six jointed legs, an exoskeleton divided into three body parts (head, thorax, abdomen). Most insects have wings, though not all. Insects are the only invertebrates that can fly.

The function of the smooth slippery surface with downward pointing hairs in a pitcher plant?

The function of the downward pointing hairs on the pitcher plant is to encourage the insect to move further into the plant. As it gets to the edge, it loses its footing, and falls into the liquid in the bottom of the plant. The downward facing hairs at this point prevent the fly getting a foothold to climb out of the liquid. As a point of interest, the liquid contains agents that paralyze and numb the insect (basically gets it drunk), before the digestive enzymes get to work, so the insect dies happy!
