It depends, actually. Cheers M.

Plants use sugars produced during photosynthesis to make organic compounds. Photosynthesis is a plants method of making food for itself.
Plants manufacture sugars from sunlight and ground nutrients.
Three other elements that make up most organic compounds are: 1. NITROGEN 2. HYDROGEN 3. OXYGEN
Nitrogen is found in plants and animals, though mainly plants as a way to more easily have photosynthesis occur. It is found in the blood of the organisms in which have nitrogen in their bodies.

Plants get nitrogen primarily from the soil, where it is absorbed by the plant's roots either in the form of nitrate ions (NO3-) or ammonium ions (NH4+). These nitrogen compounds are either naturally present in the soil or added through fertilizers. Some plants, like legumes, also have a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria that can convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form usable by the plant.
To make organic compounds
"plants"
Plants are able to use simple nitrogen compounds from the soil, such as ammonium and nitrate, to synthesize proteins and other complex compounds through a process called nitrogen assimilation. This involves incorporating the nitrogen into amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins, through a series of biochemical reactions in the plant cells.
Autotrophic organisms are plants that don't need an exogenous supply of organic nutrition. Autotrophic organisms make their food from inorganic compounds, e.g. nitrogen.

You can make most organic compounds with just 4 elements: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.
Oxygen can form compounds such as water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), ozone (O3), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).

need for growth and nutrition through photosynthesis, which converts sunlight into energy to produce glucose. This process allows them to synthesize carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids for their metabolic needs. Additionally, plants and algae can recycle nutrients from the environment to sustain their growth and development.

Many compounds in plants include Nitrogen including Proteins and DNA. Note, most plants can not use atmospheric Nitrogen (N2), and must absorb nitrogen that is bonded to hydrogen or carbon such as Ammonia (NH3).
