A. Aldrovanda is the botanical name of the water wheel plant.

The biggest flower belongs to a plant called rafflesia arnoldii, which is a total root parasite because it cannot prepare its own food, thus takes food along with water and minerals from the roots of the host plant.

Venus flytrap belongs to America as it is native to the areas near the east coast of America, South & North Carolina.

The relation between the bacteria and legume having nodulated root is of symbiosis because it is a mutually beneficial relationship where the bacteria acquire food and accommodation, while the plant acquires nitrogen to make proteins.

Epiphytes are symbiotic plants that grow on the surface of a plant and derives its moisture and nutrients from the air, rain or from debris accumulating around it. They usually grow over the branches of trees so that they can attain sunlight as they are short.

A plant living symbiotically inside another plant is called endophyte because endophytes are plants that live within a plant for at least part of its life cycle without causing apparent disease.
