Question 5

Describe the modifications of leaf in any one insectivorous plant?

Answer

In Venus Flytrap, the leaves have long pointed hairs. It is divided into two parts having midrib in between like a hinge. When an insect visits the leaf, it closes its two parts and traps the insect. The insect is then digested by digestive juices secreted by the plant.
