Answer:

The trap of the Venus flytrap helps this organism survive because it lures insects with its bright colors. When the insect lands on the trap, it touches very small hairs on the surface which triggers the Venus flytrap to close and catch its prey.

Step-by-step explanation:

Without the trap, the plant would not be able to catch prey and gain nutrients and energy from them.
