It depends what you mean by "food". All plants need sunlight, water and nutrients to "eat" and make energy which they do themselves. Most plants are able to obtain nutrients from the soil or water, but some plants are carnivorous and catch their own food in order to obtain nutrients which they could not otherwise obtain. Some of the common examples of this are the venus flytrap and the pitcher plants which are able to live in nutrient poor regions. These catch insects and digest them for nutrients, but they do not obtain energy from this process as carnivorous animals do.
