In pitcher plants, the modified part that captures insects is the leaf, which is transformed into a tubular structure resembling a pitcher. This structure contains a slippery inner surface and often a fluid at the bottom, luring and trapping insects that venture inside. The plant then digests the trapped insects using enzymes to obtain nutrients.
