Orchids for one, they are epiphytes which derive their nutrients from the nitrogen in the air. Spanish Moss also lives like this. Water plants don't need soil. If you don't consider sand as soil, then succulents and cacti don't need soil, but then it comes down to how you are defining soil. Almost any plant can be grown hydroponically, that is, with water enriched with nutrients.
