Which adaptation enables pitcher plants to acquire nitrogen in nutrient-poor soils?

💡 Explanation

Secretion of digestive enzymes and absorption through prey decomposition allows them to obtain nitrogen; this mechanism, enzyme secretion, breaks down prey into usable nutrients, because they lack direct soil absorption from bacterial fixation therefore they depend on insect protein capture and nitrogen compounds rather than groundwater alone.
