How do corpse flowers eat and how they eat?

Corpse flowers, specifically from the genus Amorphophallus, do not eat in the traditional sense like animals. Instead, they are nutrient-absorbing plants that rely on photosynthesis and the decomposition of organic matter to obtain nutrients. The foul odor they emit attracts pollinators, such as carrion beetles and flies, which help facilitate reproduction rather than serving as a food source. The plant's structure allows it to draw nutrients from the soil and decaying matter, supporting its growth and flowering cycle.
