@Johnny:
Living things have jivitindriya rūpa.
Living beings have jivitindriya rūpa AND jivitindriya cetasika; they also have 6 more universal cetasika in addition to jivitindriya cetasika: phassa, vedana, sanna, cetana, manasikara, ekaggata.
To commit an akusala kamma, the 7 universal cetasika AND a combination of asobhana cetasika must arise.
To the question: “Do carnivorous plants arise in this world to become conditions for some sentient beings to meet their kamma vipaka?”. Yes. Very likely.
