heterotroph plant??

Question

ive heard that there is one plant species that is not an autotroph(producer), instead it is a heterotroph, a consumer plant taht is not able to live on its own without consuming. anyone know wat plant it is?

Answer 1

A lot of plants get nourishment from insect bodies, but they still are partially autotroph.

Heterotroph plant? Genus Cuscuta with 170 species all of them almost completely lack chlorophyll and are unable to photosynthesize effectively, being entirely dependent on the host plants for nutrition. Because they are parasitic.

Rafflesia is other genus of parasitic flowering plants. It contains 19 species found in southeastern Asia. The flowers have no leaves and hardly any stem, just a huge speckled five-petaled flower with a diameter up to 106 cm, and weighing up to 10 kg. Even the smallest species, R. manillana, has 20 cm diameter flowers. The flowers smell like rotting meat, hence its local names which translate to "corpse flower" or "meat flower". The smell that flowers give off can sometimes attract flies. It is parasitic on vines in the genus Tetrastigma (Vitaceae), spreading its roots inside the vine. The fruit is eaten by tree shrews and other forest mammals.

And there are some others.
