Insectivorous plants

  • Some other species of plants known as insectivorous plants that are capable of trapping insects and digesting them. These plants are known as pitcher plants with its leaf modified as pitcher.
  • The top of the leaf forms a cover which closes or opens the mouth of the modified leaf.
  • The pitcher consists of hair like projections directed downwards.
  • As soon as an insect lands over the pitcher the cover of the pitcher opens to swallow the insect.
  • As soon as the insect gets inside the pitcher the top closes and the insect gets knotted in the hair.
  • The plant then digests the insect with the help of the digestive juices secreted inside the pitcher.
