Bladderworts trap insects using specialized structures called bladders, which are small, bulbous organs that create a vacuum. When an unsuspecting organism triggers the trap's sensitive hairs, the bladder rapidly opens, sucking in water and the prey. This mechanism allows the plant to capture and digest small aquatic animals, supplementing its nutrient intake in nutrient-poor environments.
