Soil doesn't need plants or the other way around but it is recommended for plants as it contains more nutrition than sand and is cheaper. It is mainly needed to because the plant wouldn't be able to root itself to the spot.

The type of soil a plant needs, depends on the plant i.e. some plants may need lots of water while other plants don't. The better the soil matches the plant, the better the plant grows.
