Question

What are traps or Insectivorous plants?

Short Note

Solution

  1. These plants grow in nitrogen-deficient places. In Nepenthes, the leaves are modified into a flask-like structure, which is used to attract insects and other tiny animals.
  2. The inner wall of the leaf secretes digestive enzymes that help to digest the insects and extract the nitrogen needed for the plant. E.g: Nepenthes.
