Plants are living beings that do not need another to receive food, since they provide their own to survive, taking into account that for this it requires a process where the various elements of the earth work, so we tell you what plants feed on.
Plants feed on the soil through what they get from the soil by their roots, but in turn there is a variety or species that usually feed on insects which are called carnivorous, but that is only a minimal portion of them.
Plants feed in three well-defined stages of which we will talk later, the main thing is that you understand well that like all living beings, they also feed although in a different way than we do the other species on the planet.
Apart from all this is the evidence that plants fulfill the role of themselves to elaborate their own food that they then convert into the energy necessary to carry out their work that is to purify and clean the air we breathe in order to live.
Therefore, keep reading and from now on you will find out everything about this interesting topic, which involves a knowledge of how each of the living beings that live with us works and that sometimes we do not imagine that it is a separate world that is worth knowing.

Instructions
You already have an idea of what plants feed so from now on it is easy for you to understand that they are living beings and although they do not move, talk or move from one place to another, they also need other factors that contribute to their diet to survive.
With all this process the existing plants on the planet creates a nutritional solidity that in turn depends on what you are able to offer, with the fertilizer, what you discard in the soil, the water you can give in addition to the energy of the sun necessary to strengthen.
In addition to changing the air we breathe and need, plants need a pollution-free environment in which they can feed well and yet we do not respect this, since we give a lot of garbage sometimes consciously without caring about their needs.
From now on with what you understand and get from here it will serve you to take care of the plants, because they are the ones that naturally help you to have life, thanks to the elaboration of oxygen that is necessary to give health, clean air and of course life.
How plants feed
- Items they need. Plants, unlike other living beings, produce and elaborate their own food through essential elements that are: water and minerals from the soil through the root, some elements of the air that is part of their environment and of course sunlight. What they get from the air in addition to the sun they absorb it through their leaves that remain outside and with all this process, they elaborate the food that provides them with their color in addition to being able to reproduce or even give the best flowers and sweet fruits.
- Three stages in feeding. Plants also perform their feeding in three well-defined stages that we mention below: They take the elements of the soil and air: through the root, they take what is necessary to be taken inside and wait for the other stages to make their own food.
- They take the elements inside the plant, where they transform these elements into the essentials to survive.
- They distribute this food already transformed through all the parts flower, stem, leaf, fruit and of course the roots.
- Manufacture of substances.
- With these three well-defined steps, plants elaborate a food that they can absorb according to what is collected and that is necessary to stay alive and full of energy, so it is important that everything that surrounds the plant is healthy.
- In order for this process to occur, the plant has to breathe, to obtain the necessary chemicals also and thanks to this feed and exist.
- Likewise, the plants elaborate what is necessary for their food in order to grow, develop, reproduce and return to carry out the process again giving more life so that next to it there are also other plants that accompany it in this complex process.
- Taking substances. Plants get from the soil what they need to be able to begin the process of making their food through the roots, which are buried in the earth, these being water, mineral salts in addition to carbon dioxide in the air through the leaves. So, it is considered that they are two ways that have to take what is necessary for the process, which are through the leaves in contact with the air and the environment that surrounds it taking the gas and the rest of the hidden parts of its form, the root by means of filaments in these.
- From then on it is responsible for making the sap that will circulate inside the stem of the plant, until it reaches the leaves by means of tubes, where carbon dioxide enters the game of this natural state of feeding, waiting for the mixture of all the elements.
- Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which the plant makes its own food, as a result of which the three elements involved in the process are found in the leaves, where when touching sunlight, the sap that comes from the root takes what is necessary from carbon dioxide and converts it into edible sap. From this it is taken that the plants perform this work only during the day and not at night, because for everything to be given normally, sunlight must become part of the game, so it is an indispensable requirement to be able to achieve it.
- Plants take sunlight through the green pigment they have in the leaves and is called chlorophyll, also when making the necessary food, they can perform the work of releasing oxygen for life to function normally in the environment around it.
- Part of this then is related to the fact of the importance that plants carry out the elaboration of their food, to be able to fill with oxygen that is what allows us to breathe and give us life in addition to the other living beings that share habitat on earth.
- The sap. The sap already elaborated as a result of the process of collecting the substances necessary for the preparation of the food, is distributed in the same way to all the leaves of the plants, by a very different path from the one that transports the sap from the root. Sage needs to be touched by the other elements so that it can serve as food, more or less it has been like the process of digestion in humans, where the necessary substances are taken to nourish and those that do not serve or are harmful are discarded.
- For this reason, in the journey of one and the other, they do not touch each other anywhere, since they are separated by ducts that do not allow either of them to meet, since after the food is elaborated, it must be returned to the plant by other ways so that it is adsorbed by all parts.
- The oxygen of plants. Plants expel the oxygen necessary for life into the environment, but for this the feeding must be carried out as the respiration of the same, starting with the whole process of absorption of the elements necessary for the whole process until the expulsion to the outside of it. For this reason, the plants breathe all the time both day and night so do not confuse the need for sunlight for the preparation of food and breathing, being two different procedures, but offering the same result.
- Plants use respiration and food to obtain energy by virtue of being able to perform the work of photosynthesis, since everything is a mechanism that remains in force as a cycle where all the elements necessary for work intervene.
- Water for plant life. Plants need a lot of water to feed, so they can perform the cycle of photosynthesis optimally by virtue of giving life to other living beings, therefore it is a well-calculated process that nature itself helps to impose.
- In all this method nothing is lost since this same water is returned to the environment by evaporating from the same leaves of the plants, which in turn return to the earth with what falls from the sky, which they adsorb from the earth, thus demonstrating the cycle that originates.
- This is why where there are more trees and plants the environment is cooler and the rain becomes more copious, by virtue of this you can also realize the great importance of plants for life, that of producing rain in addition to needing it.
- From this is obtained the lesson of taking care of the plants to achieve the complete set that benefits all living beings of the plant because if the indiscriminate felling of trees and burning of vegetation continues, it will not be possible to receive rainwater so that oxygen is produced.
- The need for water. The places where most of the vegetation is found, are the most important when it comes to producing the water necessary for life, so it is necessary to take care of the so-called lungs of the environment, which are the villages of green life.
- Forests and salts are those that fall into this denomination because they are the most necessary when it comes to producing rain, which when falling to the earth offers them the necessary liquid to survive and carry out the whole complex feeding process.
Councils
- Prevent people from continuing to pollute water and the environment.
- Help plants maintain their green color so they get what they need from sunlight.
- Plant various species of trees and plants to be part of life on the planet.
- Carry out conservation campaigns.
