why do some plants eat meat?

• All plants soak up energy from the sun and slurp nutrients from the dirt . but hundreds of species have developed an ability to add to their diets in sorrier soils such as acidic swamps and rocky outcrops . they are called carnivorous plants after their favorite food-fresh meat which gives them the nutritional boost they need to grow leaves that capture energy from the sun . but humans have nothing to fear from these meat-eating  plants .they are deadly only to morsel-size animals , such as flies , mosquitoes ,mice, lizards, frogs, and the occasional unlucky bird.
