Why do some plants have to trap insects?


Carnivorous or insectivorous plants are plants that get nutrients from trapping and eating insects and small animals. They are often called insectivorous plants because they usually trap insects. Since they get some of their food from animals, carnivorous plants can grow in humid areas, where plenty of sunlight and moisture is found. They are found in nitrogen-deficient soil. That is why they trap and digest insects to absorb nutrients.
