Venus flytraps have lysosomes to assist in breaking down the food they digest, particularly insects. These organelles house digestive enzymes that convert complex organic material into usable nutrients. This helps the plant thrive in nutrient-poor environments, compensating for the lack of nutrients in their native boggy soils.
