Step-by-step explanation:

It's simple really—plants get the materials they need to grow cheifly from air and water! Sunlight provides the energy plants need to convert water and carbon dioxide (CO2), a major component in air, to carbohydrates, such as sugars, in a process called photosynthesis

Answer:

The AIR

Step-by-step explanation:

Plants need carbon to grow so, they absorb carbon dioxide from the air.

Carbon makes up most of the building materials that plants use to build new leaves, stems, and roots. The oxygen used to build glucose molecules is also from carbon dioxide
