Some plants grow better in certain types of potting soil
Broccoli plants could live in potting soil quite well, if it were outdoors and received plenty of water and light.

Potting soil is a growing medium used for planting and nurturing plants in containers or pots. It is a mixture of ingredients like peat moss, perlite, vermiculite, and sometimes compost, specifically designed to provide adequate drainage, aeration, and nutrients for plant growth in a confined space.
This depends on the species of plant. Some plants require different nutrients than others. Your best bet would be to plant in regular soil, and then after some research you can till the soil with the required nutrients.
"Plants" is too broad a term. Try naming a certain species of plant to get a better answer.
It depends on what you are trying to grow. Sand is good for drainage but lacks nutrients, while potting soil provides nutrients for plant growth. In general, potting soil is a better choice for most potted plants as it provides a better growing medium.
I am a ninth grader and I am doing an experiment on which type of soil sugarsnap peas will grow the best in. I'm using regular soil, potting soil, red clay, and sand. So far the potting soil has sprouted and none of the others have !
