Because the cells themselves need energy to perform their specific function, and to reproduce!
Plants primarily gather nutrients and energy through their roots and leaves. Roots absorb water and minerals from the soil, while leaves harness sunlight through photosynthesis to convert into energy.
The digestive system is responsible for breaking down food into nutrients that can be absorbed by cells through the process of digestion. Nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine and transported to cells throughout the body for energy, growth, and repair.
Epidermal cells receive nutrients primarily through diffusion from the underlying dermis layer, where blood vessels supply nutrients. Additionally, some epidermal cells can also absorb nutrients from sweat and sebum produced by skin glands.
to provide energy
Fungi get their energy from waste materials and decaying organisms. They are able to use hyphae which absorb nutrients in one area. The hyphae will then grow out as a means to absorb other nutrients.
Animal cells are able to absorb water and nutrients because of their semi-permeable membrane. The digestive process releases nutrients from food into the bloodstream, which are then synthesized by cells for energy.

The process in which cells absorb nutrients starts with digestion. When you eat something, the food is broken down to its basic elements (carbs, lipids, etc) through digestion. When the food has become sufficiently broken down, they get delivered to the cell, through the blood stream. Once at the cell, the cell opens up 'passage ways' for the nutrients to enter. It then uses these nutrients to repair itself, and create ATP. Cells don't absorb energy, but rather generate it. The energy that a cell uses is called ATP, and is produced by the mitochondria. The things needed to produce ATP are carbon based food, water, and air. The elements specifically needed are Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen.

The assimilation of nutrients refers to how cells use energy. Not all cells assimilate nutrients because some are not active.
Cells and carbohydrates are the two nutrients which store energy.
