Venus Flytraps should constantly be in poor, moist soil. I use New Zealand Long Fibered Sphagnum Moss, as it can hold 20 times its weight in water (It's like a big sponge!) Distilled water, with no additives, or carefully purified water from home is good. Collecting rainwater isn't a bad idea, either.
Yes. All plants need water. Except that the Venus Flytrap requires its soil to be constantly moist. Or it dies. If you read any Venus Flytrap care files, it will advise this because the roots are delicate, and the plant needs 'purified water.' (Eg rainwater)
A Venus Flytrap is used to a warm/hot climate so make sure it doesn't get any frost. I suggest you use it as an indoor pot plant but it is very versatile and can grow in just about any climate.
Your Venus Flytrap should be implanted in moist soil. Whenever this soil looks/feels dry, it needs watering. The amount of water it needs depends on whether its soil is dry or not.
Tip: You shouldn't pour water over your plant, because it goes right through the vase. You should always have water in the cup below your vase so your plant can drink whenever it wants.
The Venus Flytrap requires moist, damp soil. The average garden soil is not mandatory and should not be used for the Flytrap if you wish it to live a long, healthy life. Special soil can be bought from selected retailers however speaking to someone at your local Garden Centre is probably the best option open to you.

The leaves on a Venus Flytrap close when touch what is this an example of?
I do not think that it has a specific name for only that. I am not a plant professional but I can tell you that number one; they aren't leaves and number two; It should only be called "the head of the Venus Flytrap closing". It also does not need a capital V since it is not the name of a planet, but the name of a plant (Venus).
