Plants make their own food out of carbon dioxide from the air, water and energy taken form sunlight - by a process called photosynthesis.
All living things on earth depend on the food that plants make (except the ecologies round black smokers in the deep oceans and bacteria living in rock)
Carbon dioxide and water makes sugar. Plants eat sugar.
They create their own food through the process of Photosynthesis. Protosynthesis converts Carbon Dioxide and Water into Glucose and Oxygen using power from the sun.

∙ 16y agoNot in the same way we do. Humans chew most of their food, called mastication. Since plants do not have the ability to masticate, they do not really eat. But if you take a broader interpretation of eating as breaking down food, then there are some plants that eat insects. They trap them and then secrete special chemicals that break them down a lot like our own digestive system.

Can plants eat plants?
Interesting question. Plants don't really "eat". Plants produce sugars from photosynthesis, even plants that seem to "eat" insects are not trapping insects for energy, but for other nutrients such as nitrogen. With this being said, when a plant dies and its nutrients return to the soil, those ions and molecules are absorbed by the root systems of the plants in the immediate area. So in the traditional sense, Plants do not eat other plants, but they are able to derive some of their required molecules from their fallen brothers.
