| When a carnivorous plant catches an insect, the leaves serve as the stomach that digests it. Parts of or all of the trapped animal is broken down into a liquid by the leaves' special bacteria or digestive juices. This mixture of proteins, minerals and digestive juices is called a 'broth' or soup. The plant's leaves take in all the nutrients necessary for growth from the dead animal. |  |
