Nepenthes is a producer because it contains chlorophyll and performs photosynthesis to manufacture its own food using sunlight

It is also a consumer because it traps and digests insects to obtain essential nutrients like nitrogen, which are often missing in its soil

This dual nature allows the plant to thrive in nutrient-poor environments by combining self-made energy with supplemental nutrients from prey
