Answer 1

that's because non green plant doesn't have chlorophyll in there leaves which break downs carbon dioxide and water molecules thus do not produce glucose (food).

Answer 2

Non-green plants is nothing but there is no Chlorophyll pigment in those plants.

Plants prepare the food by the process of Photosynthesis.

$\orange\Rightarrow$ Chlorophyll is required to continue the process.

Thus, of there is no chlorophyll the Photosynthesis will won't occur.

So, nom-green plants can not make their own food. It depends on the other plants.

Xtra points:

The plants which can make their own food are called aa Heterotropes.

Plants which depend on other plants for food are called as Autotropes.
