Pitcher plants, an insectivorous plant species, are found in which part of Meghalaya?

Garo Hills
Khasi Hills
Jaintia Hills
Brahmaputra Valley

The correct answer is: b) Khasi Hills.

Pitcher plants are an insectivorous plant species that are found in the Khasi Hills of Meghalaya. They are adapted to grow in nutrient-poor soil and obtain their nutrients from insects that they trap in their pitchers. Pitcher plants are found in a variety of shapes and sizes, but they all have one thing in common: they have a pitcher-like structure that is used to trap insects. The pitcher is usually made up of a modified leaf that is covered in a slippery substance. When an insect lands on the pitcher, it is unable to get back out and is eventually digested by the plant.

The Khasi Hills are a mountain range in the state of Meghalaya in northeastern India. The hills are home to a variety of plant and animal life, including pitcher plants. The Khasi Hills are also home to a number of indigenous tribes, who have lived in the area for centuries.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Garo Hills are a mountain range in the state of Meghalaya in northeastern India. The hills are home to a variety of plant and animal life, but they are not home to pitcher plants.
  • Jaintia Hills are a mountain range in the state of Meghalaya in northeastern India. The hills are home to a variety of plant and animal life, but they are not home to pitcher plants.
  • Brahmaputra Valley is a large valley in the state of Assam in northeastern India. The valley is home to a variety of plant and animal life, but it is not home to pitcher plants.
