Yes, because people who lives in a space stations need an oxygen. Oxygen that people needs can be also taken from plants. That's it is also "possible" to plants to grow.
Modules
1998
Freddie Douglas has written: 'Viewport concept for space station modules' -- subject(s): Space stations
The International Space Station was created by multiple countries. The first modules were built and launched by Russia. Most of the ISS modules and other components were built and launched by the United States. Russia built the 2nd largest percentage of the ISS followed by Japan, Europe, Canada, Italy and Brazil which built the smallest percentage. Most modules were brought to the International Space Station by space shuttle missions. The remainder to launched by Russian rockets. The European Space Agency and also launches resupply missions to the ISS.
A lot of astronauts have served on the International Space Station. Supplies of food and other necessities are brought for the astronauts. As the space station is still undergoing construction, additional parts and modules are brought up to it. A lot of experiments are done on it, so equipment and necessary materials to conduct those experiments are brought to the space station.
Much of the ISS modules and supports solar panels are made from titanium, kevlar and high strength steel.

The majority of the components of the International Space Station were constructed in the United States, but there are pieces from Canada, Russia and Japan. The ISS itself was assembled in orbit, and new modules have been added every couple of years.

The first part launched in 1998. It's not yet finished, the last module is supposed to launch in 2012. More modules could be added in the future.
