The '''Pilokepderi''' arose from the inland proliferation of their ancestors. Growing alongside their relatives such as the [[Pilunoroot]], they use their insectivorous capacity to give them an edge in nutrient acquisition. They live functionality the same as their ancestors, allowing their seeds to be varied on the wind. They have developed frond-like protrusions along their basal root-trunks that aids them in trapping prey organisms as they wander by. These fronds secrete a modified phloem sap that contain various carbohydrates, proteins and waste products that when mixed appear to generate a thick, viscous fluid that is capable of entangling prey creature. The prey that are captured, typically a member of one of the ground based pedesorm species, slowly die of starvation, and their nutrients provide for the flora. Study of the organisms shows the fronds appear to be derived from the same basal peddle like fronds that grow on the flowering bodies, which act doubly as to increase surface area to allow for improved photosynthesizing capacity. This functionality however appear to be purely secondary, yet it remains undetermined whether the fronds developed for their role in capturing prey or if the increased photosynthetic capabilities evolved first.

The Pilokepderi arose from the inland proliferation of their ancestors. Growing alongside their relatives such as the Pilunoroot, they use their insectivorous capacity to give them an edge in nutrient acquisition. They live functionality the same as their ancestors, allowing their seeds to be varied on the wind. They have developed frond-like protrusions along their basal root-trunks that aids them in trapping prey organisms as they wander by. These fronds secrete a modified phloem sap that contain various carbohydrates, proteins and waste products that when mixed appear to generate a thick, viscous fluid that is capable of entangling prey creature. The prey that are captured, typically a member of one of the ground based pedesorm species, slowly die of starvation, and their nutrients provide for the flora. Study of the organisms shows the fronds appear to be derived from the same basal peddle like fronds that grow on the flowering bodies, which act doubly as to increase surface area to allow for improved photosynthesizing capacity. This functionality however appear to be purely secondary, yet it remains undetermined whether the fronds developed for their role in capturing prey or if the increased photosynthetic capabilities evolved first.
