Answer 2

Venus flytrap communicate with other organisms by secreting a sugary substance (nectar) in its leaf glands.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Venus flytrap is a carnivorous plant that traps insects in a plant structure that closes when the small hairs on the inside of the structure are touched.

The leaf of this plant contains a watery fluid secreted by glands on its open traps. Organisms like flies are attracted to the secreted nectar and perches on it; only for the hairs of the flytrap to get shut due to that touch and cell expansion triggered.
