Detailed explanation-1: -Plants require air, water and soil, sunlight to survive and grow because they get nutrition from soil.

Detailed explanation-2: -The vital needs of a plant are very much like our own-light, water, air, nutrients, and a proper temperature. The relative importance of each of these needs differs widely among plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants need three main ingredients to make their food: water, carbon dioxide and sunlight. Plants take up the water that they need from the soil through their roots. Carbon dioxide is a gas found in the air; plants can take in this gas through tiny holes in their leaves.

Detailed explanation-5: -All field crops need soil, water, air and light (sunshine) to grow. The soil gives stability to the plants; it also stores the water and nutrients which the plants can take up through their roots. The sunlight provides the energy which is necessary for plant growth (Fig.
