In the simplest terms nutrients are the essentials of life, without them we die. In other words nutrients provide us with life itself.

That said there are many different specific nutrients, each of which provide us with different types of things that are essential for life. Some are needed in large amounts daily, others we only need small amounts of and can often go for long periods without any of those nutrients.
