Why do plants need minerals? Plants need minerals to help them grow, its not a necessary as much as light, water, and carbon dioxide but if a plant can get N-P-K nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus then your plant will increase in height and grow more leaves.
Hydroponics is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, in water, without soil. Terrestrial plants may be grown with their roots in the mineral nutrient solution only or in an inert medium, such as perlite, gravel, mineral wool, or coconut husk.
Plants and animals need different things because they have different needs. Plants need sunlight because they make their own food and animals need plants.
The organisms need plants, algae and bacteria for their nourishment. This ensures their survival.
Some plants don't need as much as a sprinkler gives them like a cactus or the sprinkler can not give enough water to some plants that need more, so it dies or becomes weakened in both cases.

The useful mineral nutrients for plants is NITRATES and PHOSPHATES.
All the plants need fertilizers which are salts.
ions that plants need for supprt and growth
Plants get their mineral ions from a bumblebee pulling off a petal then escreting into the flower, giving the plant its ions.
They both need the same mineral to grow
Plants obtain the mineral nutrients they need from the soil. The roots of the plants absorb essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium from the soil to support their growth and development. These nutrients are essential for various physiological processes in plants, including photosynthesis and growth.
Water and mineral nutrients.
maybe because it need water,mineral salts and food to survive?
actually they are minerals

Plants absorb mineral salts from soils and waters.
