Plants are living beings that do not need another to receive food, since they provide their own to survive, taking into account that this requires a process where the various elements of the earth work, so we tell you what plants are fed.
Table of Contents
Plants feed on the soil through what they obtain from the soil through 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 small portion of them.
Plants feed in three well-defined stages that we will talk about later; the main thing is that you understand well that like all living beings, they also feed, although in a different way than the other species on the planet.
Apart from all this, there is evidence that plants play their role in making their own food, which they then convert into the energy necessary to carry out their work, which 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 related to this interesting topic, which entails knowledge of how each of the living beings that live with us works and that sometimes we do not imagine that it is a world apart that is worth knowing.

Instructions
You already have an idea of what plants eat, so from now on it will be easy for you to understand that they are living beings and although they do not move, speak or move from one place to another, they also need other contributing factors. To their diet to survive.
With all this process, the existing plants on the planet create a nutritional solidity that in turn depends on what you are able to offer it, with the fertilizer, what you discard on the ground, the water that you can give it in addition to the energy of the sun needed 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 them a lot of garbage sometimes consciously without caring about their needs.
From now on, with what you understand and obtain from here, it will help you to take care of the plants, because they are the ones that naturally help you to have life, thanks to the elaboration of the oxygen that is necessary to give health, clean air and of course life.
How plants eat:
- Items they need. Plants, unlike other living beings, produce and prepare their own food through essential elements that are: water and minerals from the soil through the root, some elements of the air that are part of their environment and of course light. Of the sun. What they get from the air, in addition to the sun, they absorb through their leaves that remain outside and with all this process, they make 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 carry out their feeding in three well-defined stages that we mention below: They take elements from 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 carry the elements inside the plant, where they transform these elements into the essentials for survival.
- They distribute this already transformed food through all the parts of the flower, stem, leaf, and fruit and of course the roots.
- Preparation of substances.
- With these three well-defined steps, the plants make a food that they can absorb according to what is collected and that is necessary to stay alive and full of energy, for this reason it is important that everything that surrounds the plant is healthy.
- For this process to occur, the plant has to breathe, to obtain the necessary chemicals as well and thanks to this feed and exist.
- Likewise, the plants elaborate what is necessary for their food in order to grow, develop, reproduce and carry out the process again, giving more life so that along with it there are also other plants that accompany them in this complex process.
- Taking substances. Plants obtain from the earth what they need to be able to begin the process of preparing 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 leaves. For what is considered that there are two ways that they 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 in charge of elaborating the sap that will circulate inside the stem of the plant, until it reaches the leaves through tubes, where carbon dioxide enters the game of this natural state of nutrition, waiting for the mixture of all the elements.
- Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which the plant makes its own food, as the three elements involved in the process are found in the leaves, where when touching the sunlight, the sap that comes from the root takes what is necessary of carbon dioxide and converts it into edible sap. From this it is taken that the plants carry out this work only during the day and nothing at night, because for everything to happen normally, sunlight must become part of the game, so it is an essential requirement to be able to achieve it.
- Plants take sunlight through the green pigment they have in their leaves and which is called chlorophyll, also by making the necessary food, they can perform the work of releasing oxygen so that life functions normally in the surrounding environment.
- Part of this, then, is related to the fact that it is important for plants to make their food, in order to fill it with oxygen, which is what allows us to breathe and give us life, as well as the other living beings that we share a habitat with. The earth.
- The sap. The sap already produced as a result of the process of collecting the substances necessary for the preparation of 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. The 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 for nourishment and those that are useless or harmful are discarded.
- For this reason, on the journey from one to the other, they do not touch anywhere, since they are separated by ducts that do not allow either of them to meet, since after the food is prepared, it must be returned to the plant by other means. Pathways for it to be adsorbed by all parts.
- Plant oxygen. Plants expel the oxygen necessary for life into the environment, but for this, feeding and respiration must be carried out, starting with the entire process of absorption of the elements necessary for the entire process until their expulsion to the outside. For this reason, plants breathe all the time both during the day and at night, so it is not necessary to confuse the need for sunlight to prepare food and respiration, being two different procedures, but offering the same result.
- Plants use respiration and food to obtain energy by virtue of being able to carry out 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 themselves, so they can carry out the photosynthesis cycle 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 earth with what falls from the sky, which they adsorb from the earth, demonstrating thus 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 that plants have for life, that of producing rain as well to need it.
- From this we obtain the lesson of caring for the plants in order to obtain the complete set that benefits all the living beings of the planet, since if the indiscriminate felling of trees and burning of the vegetation continues, it will not be possible to receive the 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, for this reason it is necessary to take care of the so-called lungs of the environment, which are the towns of green life.
- Forests and salts are the ones that fall under this denomination because they are the most necessary when it comes to producing rain, which when it falls to the ground offers them the necessary liquid to survive and carry out the entire complex feeding process.
Tips
- Prevent people from continuing to contaminate the 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.
