S04E31 How Plants Became Carnivores

2020-10-07

Botanical carnivory continues to evolve as plants find innovative ways to survive when essential resources are lacking. When faced with nutrient deficiencies or challenging environmental conditions, certain plants adapt by developing carnivorous traits, enabling them to capture and digest prey. This remarkable adaptation allows them to thrive in habitats where traditional means of nourishment are insufficient.
