No, true darkness is a curious thing which.....I cba going into all that so no. Plants carry out a process called photosynthesis which keeps them alive. Photosynthesis needs Light, chlorophyll (which helps to absorbs green light), Carbon dioxide, water, sugar and oxygen. You can research this further if you wish. Hope I helped! xxx

Do plants need sun to grow?
Yes. ANSWER: Not all do. There are plants under the ocean that live in complete darkness and mushroons survive best in total darkness. Most plants need the photosynthesis to survive though. +++ It would be more accurate to say that mushrooms (and other fungi) do not need light (because they do not photosynthesise), though some species at least prefer slightly moist, cool hence usually shaded conditions. After all, the common or edible mushroom is a grass-land plant.
Why does the sun need plants?
the sun doesn't need plants, plants need the sun.
Do plants need carbon monoxide?
No, plants need carbon dioxide.

Can a plant grow in the darkness?
Yes. Mushrooms a some other fungi can grow in almost total darkness. Some are completely white. +++++++Answer+++++++ Technically, mushrooms are not plants. They are fungi, which is a complete separate kingdom from plants in the contemporary classification of organisms. Organisms under the kingdom of Plantae do need light for photosynthesis.
How does critical night length control photoperiodism?
Photoperiodism is the response of the plant to daylight and darkness. For short day plants it will bloom in darkness and when darkness exceeds critical night length, for long day plants it will bloom during daylight and when darkness is less than the critical night length.
Need a sentence with the word darkness?

Can plant make glucose in darkness?
Plants cannot make glucose in darkness, because the process for a plant to produce glucose requires sunlight.
What are the needs for a plant to survive?
The main substance plants, just like all organisms, need is glucose which they produce through photosynthesis and then release energy by respiration. Others they need are nitrates to form proteins for growth, magnesium (and potassium) to make chloroplasts (keeps them green), phosphorus to make DNA
