No. They must have carbon dioxide (CO2) to be able to respire and therefore make food for itself. If it does not have this then it simply cannot grow and will die. Generally speaking, a plant needs soil as well because it contains vital nutrients such as magnesium to keep healthy.

Some plants however can grow in very hostile conditions, such as geraniums. Scientists have got evidence that it would be able to grow in lunar soil on the moon!!

Hope that helps,

What will happens if there is no soil on earth?

Without soil, plants would struggle to grow as they rely on soil for nutrients, water, and support. This would disrupt the entire food chain, leading to a loss of biodiversity and impacting animals that rely on plants for food and habitat. Additionally, soil plays a crucial role in regulating water flow and supporting ecosystems, so its absence would have far-reaching consequences for the environment.
