Yes. All living things, except maybe the extremophiles that live near volcanic vents in the bottom of the sea, require oxygen to live. Even green plants need oxygen.
Sure, the leaves release oxygen, but the roots must draw in oxygen from air pockets in the soil to live. You can find this out by over-watering a potted plant. Saturating the soil will make the plant wilt and act as though it is drying up even though the soil is soaking wet. The roots have drowned and have died, therefore the rest of the plant runs out of water just as it would if the soil dried completely out.
Every living thing breaks down carbohydrates to release energy. This process requires oxygen. Even plants that live submerged in water need oxygen and get it from leaves and stems that float on the water surface - even kelp in the ocean does this. The things that look like plants in the ocean that don't have above water parts aren't really plants, but are animals that are just rooted in place such as coral, sponges, etc.

Why is it important that plants give off oxygen during photosynthesis?
Why is it important that plants give off oxygen during photosynthesis
How does phytoplankton give off oxygen?
By using photosynthesis. Photosynthesis releases oxygen as a waste product.
Do plants take in oxygen from soil?
The primary way plants use oxygen is through their root cells. In order for a plant to take up water and nutrients from the soil, it must continually grow new root hairs. The cells that make up these hairs are living cells that do not carry out photosynthesis. They are similar to the cells of animals in that they require oxygen and give off carbon dioxide as they burn carbohydrates to obtain the energy they need to function. This is why you can "drown" a house plant by watering it too much. If the soil gets too saturated with water, the plants root cells can't get enough oxygen from the air.
Which process brings carbon into the living portion of its cycle?
The Carbon - Oxygen Cycle Note: The carbon and oxygen cycles are independent but very closely related. The two cycles have been combined in the assignment below. Some of the information that you find on the carbon cycle will not contain information on the oxygen cycle. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is taken in by plants to be used in the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis carbon based compounds are produced from this CO2 and the water (H2O) that is absorbed by the roots of the plant. Plants give off oxygen (O2) as a waste product of photosynthesis. When animals consume plants or other animals they take in the carbon based compounds. Animals inhale the O2 given off by plants and exhale CO2, a waste product of cellular respiration. Plants also take in CO2 and release O2 during the process of cellular respiration. The activities described above are just a part of the interactions which take place in the carbon - oxygen cycle
What is capable of converting light energy to chemical energy?
The conversion of solar energy to chemical energy takes place during photosynthesis. This is done by the chloroplasts in plants as they convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose. Chloroplasts
Why is it important that plants give off oxygen during photosynthesis?
Why is it important that plants give off oxygen during photosynthesis
Do plants give oxygen off when using photosynthesis?
Yes plants give out oxygen during photosynthesis but only in the morning . At night when there is no sunlight they use the oxygen to make their food .
What gas do plant give off after photosynthesis?
In general outline, photosynthesis is the opposite of cellular respiration. CO2+ H2O+sunlight ----> O2 + H2O +carbohydrates.It uses carbon dioxide and the energy from sunlight to make carbohydrates and oxygen (a waste product from plants).
What do plants give off as a result of photosynthesis?
They produce glucose and oxygen. Oxygen is given off as a gas.
During what process do plants and other organisms take in carbon dioxide?
Green plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and give out oxygen. While respiration, all living organisms take in oxygen and carbon dioxide and then give out carbon dioxide.
During photosynthesis is sugar given off?
not that i know of. i know that plants give off oxygen, but not sugar...
What gas given off by plants to the during photosynthetic process is needed by living things?
during photosynthesis plants take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen
What gas is given off in photosynthesis?
The gas given off by photosynthesis is oxygen, plants take in carbon dioxide and generate it into oxygen.
What molecule do plants give off in photosynthesis?
Oxygen or O2
Plants give off oxygen under what conditions?
photosynthesis
When are plants most likely to give off greater amounts of oxygen?
During the day when photosynthesis is taking place and the stomata are open.
Why does photosynthesis provide oxygen?
Because since we give out carbon dioxide the plants use it to make photosynthesis so they give out the opposite kind of gas; oxygen.
