Not ussually. Plants are autotrophic, which means they make their own food. Most need sunlight to complete the chemical process. Without sunlight, the plant will die. Some are able to use geothermal heat, which is also a form of electromagnetic radiation, instead of light. If there is a name for this, however, I do not know it.
