MadSci Network: Botany |
My son is studying classification in his 6th grade Science class and asked an interesting question today that his teacher could not answer. If all plants are autotrophic (make their own food), why are Venus flytraps considered plants if they rely on other organisms for food. Also, could you please give the complete scientific classification for venus flytraps (kingdom, phyla, class, order, family, class, genus)? Thank for your help!
