It lacks some nutrients which it fulfills by eating insects. Therefore insects hepls in the enrichment of insectivorous plants like pitcher plant and venus flytrap. A pitcher plant feeds on insects to obtain essential amino acids and nitrogen.

Plants that eat insects are called insectivorous plants. They trap and digest insects. Pitcher plant is the example of an insectivorous plant. The soil of marshy land is deficient in nitrogen.
Plants living in marshy areas do not get nitrogen from the soil. To fulfill their nitrogenous need, they need to eat insects.
