Yes, the pitcher plant is a green plant and makes its food by photosynthesis. However, it obtains some of the raw materials it needs from its diet of insects (it catches and dissolves them in a sticky liquid). Where the soil is poor, plants need an alternate source of nitrates and phosphorus,which the insects provide.
