Because it grows in the places who s soil is deficient in nitrates which are necessary for plant growth.

Chlorophyll is used by plants to produce glucose, energy, both carnivorous plants and “normal” plants do this.

However, plants also need nutrients, and chlorophyll does not provide the plants nutrients. Most plants obtain nutrients out of the ground using their roots, however these pitcher plants grow in boggy Ares, and whilst there are some (few) nutrients in this soil, it isn't enough for them. So carnivorous plants obtain their nutrients by catching and breaking down insects. The pitcher plants lures in insects with nectar into a pitfall trap and the water at the bottom has enzymes to break down the insects, so their nutrients can be absorbed.
