2. Heterotrophic Nutrition
Most plans on Earth are green plants but there
are certain plants which do no contain
chlorophyll, neither in their leaves nor in any
other part. Such plants, called non-green
plants, are unable to manufacture their own
food.

3. There are four type of
Heterotrophic Plants.

4. Parasitic Plants
Parasitic plants are those
which absorb food from
another growing green
plant, called the host.

6. Saprophytic Plants
Saprophytic plants are plants
that live off rotting
material(sapros, rotting;
phyton, plant).They grow in
places with lots of rotting
dead leaves, often in deep
shade in tropical forests.

8. Insectivorous Plants
Insectivorous plants are
those plants that derive
some or most of their
nutrients by trapping and
consuming animals, mainly
insects.

10. Symbiotic Plants
There are certain plants which live
in association with other species
and share their food resources.
Both the types mutually gain
from each other. Such plants are
called symbiotic plants and the
relationship is called symbiosis.
