Which best describes the pitcher plant's niche? The tropical pitcher plant is a unique plant that obtains
its nutrition by digesting insects. The plant traps
insects in its pitcher-shaped leaves and dissolves
them as part of the digestion process. Tropical pitcher
plants grow in warm, moist places in which the soil is

pitcher plants are able to control the insect populations
in the areas in which they live.
