Solution
Water and minerals present in the soil are food for plants. Plants take up water and minerals from soil with the help of their roots. With the help of the sunlight they use carbon dioxide from the air and prepare their own food. Through their leaves, they absorb carbon dioxide. The green coloured pigment, chlorophyll present in the leaves helps in this process of photosynthesis to prepare their own food.
