What are the different anatomical parts of the Venus Flytrap?

Leaves: The Venus flytrap has two modified leaves that form the trap. Each leaf has two halves, called lobes.
Trigger hairs: Each lobe has three trigger hairs on its inner surface. When an insect touches the trigger hairs, it stimulates the trap to close.
Trap: The trap is formed when the two lobes of a leaf snap shut. It is lined with small spikes that prevent the insect from escaping.
Digestive glands: The inner surface of the trap is lined with digestive glands that secrete enzymes to digest the trapped insect.
Stalk: The stalk is the long, thin stem that supports the leaves and flowers of the plant.
Roots: The Venus flytrap has a shallow root system that helps it anchor to the soil and absorb nutrients.
