Answer:
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. This process is called photosynthesis, which means 'making out of light'.

Autotrophs, or plants that prepare their own food through photosynthesis, make up the majority of the plant kingdom.
Explanation:
- As they can prepare their own food, green plants are also known as Producers. Water and nutrients from the soil, chlorophyll, sunlight, carbon dioxide, an appropriate temperature, and air are all required for this.
- Chlorophyll is a type of green pigment found in all green plants. It gives the plants their green hue.
- It's essential for photosynthesis, which is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy.
- It takes energy from the sun and converts carbon dioxide into carbohydrates with that energy.
- The oxygen produced as a by-product of this action is what humans need to survive.
