Do all plants produce their food?
It depends what you mean by "food". All plants need sunlight, water and nutrients to "eat" and make energy which they do themselves. Most plants are able to obtain nutrients from the soil or water, but some plants are carnivorous and catch their own food in order to obtain nutrients which they could not otherwise obtain. Some of the common examples of this are the venus flytrap and the pitcher plants which are able to live in nutrient poor regions. These catch insects and digest them for nutrients, but they do not obtain energy from this process as carnivorous animals do.

How does a lily obtain nutrients?
Most plants obtain their nutrients through the roots in the soil, which are covered thin, absorbent tissue. Nutrients are absorbed and delivered to the plant through a vascular system that transports it in a nutritious fluid (sap) throughout the plant. Additionally, many plants benefit from a symbiotic relationship (a relationship where both parties benefit) with microbes in the soil that live on or in parts of the roots that help digest, breakdown, and convert nutrients in the soil into forms that the plant can absorb and use. Hope this helps! --Sources: Biology Major with many years of studying plants and Botany
