Plants need oxygen to drive the process of respiration. Although it is often forgotten, even plants respire, taking in oxygen, and using it to create ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) which the plant would use an an "energy currency". Unlike the plant's need for CO2, very little oxygen is diffused through the stroma, as enough oxygen is made during photosynthesis to satisfy the plant's need. So to conclude, plants need oxygen for aerobic respiration, so that they can create ATP for energy
