For
reproductive purposes, the flowers of Venus flytraps usually grow on tall
stalks far above the leaves. This is so that the insects pollinating the
flowers don’t get trapped in the leaves. This is an anatomical adaptation that
affects the flowers and the stems.
Another anatomical adaptation is the hair-like teeth at the edge of the leaves that helps seal the prey inside. Sealing the prey inside prevents other predators from coming along and stealing an insect or any nutrient being washed away by water or rain before the plant can digest them. The leaves are affected because of this adaptation.
