Venus fly traps digest food through a process called enzymatic digestion. When an insect is trapped in the plant's leaves, the plant secretes digestive enzymes that break down the insect's soft tissues. This releases nutrients that the plant can absorb and use for growth. The process can take several days to complete, after which the trap reopens to catch more prey.
