Solution
Pitcher plant traps insects because it grows in soils which lack in nitrogen.
Explanation:
Pitcher plant (Nepenthes) is an insectivorous plant. It grows in the soils that are usually nitrogen-deficient. It is capable of photosynthesising and manufactures its carbohydrate food. But in order to obtain its nitrogen nutrition it traps and digests insects.
