Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis: Plants are known to produce food on their own through leaves. The roots of a plant absorb water and minerals from the soil, which are converted to food in presence of sunlight by the leaves. This process is known as photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The leaves prepare food for the plants, using water and carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. This process is called photosynthesis. The prepared food is in the form of glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants are called producers because they make – or produce – their own food. Their roots take up water and minerals from the ground and their leaves absorb a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. They convert these ingredients into food by using energy from sunlight.
