Does periodic table of elements has something to do with trace elements in human body?

Yes. It is very interesting to note that the elements with atomic number from 24 to 30 are very important trace elements in human body and probably for all animal and plant cells. So you have Cromium (24), Manganese (25), Iron (26), Cobalt (27), Nickel (28), Copper (29) and zinc (30) as trace elements. In this Iron is generally not considered as trace element. But then requirement of Iron per day is only 3 mg.

Will plants still grow without the NPK fertilizer if all the trace elements are present?

Plants require nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) in addition to trace elements for optimal growth. While the presence of trace elements may support some growth, the absence of NPK may limit the plant's overall health and development. It is important to provide a balanced nutrient mix, including both macronutrients (NPK) and micronutrients (trace elements), for optimal plant growth.
