Fun fact! Not all plants use chlorophyll to synthesize energy. The macabrely named corpse plant is a translucent white color, because it lacks the green pigment, which allows plants to absorb energy from light. Instead, this plant is a saprophyte; like a fungus, and its root system soaks up necessary nutrients from surrounding decaying plant matter.
