Sugar (glucose, in particular) is the basis for more complex carbohydrates. It is also the fundamental building block for the plant product called "cellulose". Cellulose is the tough substance that holds plants together, and is used to provide structure to the plant so that it can grow. Thus, when you provide a plant with sugar, you are providing it with the building blocks of cellulose, which can be used to increase the size of the plant structure.
