Solution

Nepenthes (pitcher plant) is an example of an insectivorous plant.

Explanation:

Nepenthes, commonly known as the pitcher plant, is an example of an insectivorous plant. These plants trap and digest insects to obtain nutrients, especially in nutrient-poor soils. They have specialized leaves forming pitchers that attract, capture, and digest insects using enzymes. This adaptation allows them to survive in environments where the soil lacks sufficient nitrogen and other minerals.
