What do plants need
Plants need four things to live: water, nutrients, light, and soil. Water is absorbed by roots and transported throughout the plant. Nutrients are absorbed from the soil through roots. Leaves use light energy and carbon dioxide to produce food through photosynthesis. Soil provides anchoring and a source of water and nutrients for roots.
