Short Answer

Solution

Plants are photoautotrophs, preparing their own food through photosynthesis, using sunlight and chlorophyll to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. This process occurs in the chloroplasts, providing the plant with essential energy for growth while releasing oxygen as a byproduct. Excess glucose is converted into starch and stored for later use.
