Plants produce their own food and energy through a process called photosynthesis. They can’t go looking for food like animals do. In photosynthesis, sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide are changed into glucose, a kind of sugar, which is food for the plant. Photosynthesis occurs mainly in the leaves.
