It gathers water from absorbing it from the air and/or ground to its roots.
The roots and their hairs reach into the soil to absorb nutrients. Capillary action of water induces the absorption.

Photosynthesis
Cuticle is a useful adaptation in plants but not algae because plants need a way to retain water and algae obtains water and other materials directly from the water around them.
A rootless plant is a type of plant that does not have roots to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Instead, it obtains what it needs directly from its environment or from other plants. These plants have unique adaptations to survive in areas where traditional root systems are not possible.
The Rafflesia plant does not photosynthesize and lacks leaves for producing food. Instead, it is a parasitic plant that obtains nutrients and water from the host vine plant it attaches to. The Rafflesia plant connects to the host's vascular system to draw nutrients, allowing the plant to grow and bloom.
Dodder lacks chlorophyll, so it cannot photosynthesize on its own. Instead, it is a parasitic plant that obtains nutrients by attaching itself to a host plant and extracting water and nutrients directly from the host's vascular system.
Yes, mistletoe (Viscum album) is a hemiparasitic plant, meaning it can photosynthesize but also derives some nutrients from the host plant it attaches to. It obtains water and minerals through structures called haustoria that penetrate the host plant's tissues.
A coconut obtains water for growth and development through its roots, which absorb water from the soil. The water is then transported through the coconut tree to different parts of the plant, including the fruit, to support its growth and development.
During photosynthesis, the sun's rays are taken in by the leaves of a plant, and the chloroplasts and mitochondria convert the energy from those rays into food the plant can store for later usage.
