Yes plants do adapt to the availability of sunlight. If the plant stem is tied with soft string and kept in absence of light and after one or two days if kept in such a way that sunlight just touches the plant, it will be observed that the stem will bent a little bit gradually to try to adapt to the sunlight.

All plants need sun light to grow except for the few living on the ocean floor which lives off of material harmful to most living things. ( I am only about 90% positive about this)

Yes all plants need sunlight. Plants need sunlight to produce food for themselves by photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is also needed for this process.
