All life on Earth relies on energy to survive. With the exception of some life forms that survive on chemical energy created by the heat from the core of the planet, all the energy life uses comes form the Sun.
Plants capture sunlight in a process called "photosynthesis" and make food (sugars) with it. Plants are then eaten by animals - this is called the food chain. The energy in this food chain is in the main sunlight and this is how the Sun supports (it does not help support it is the basis of) life on Earth.
