Can a plant grow faster in sunlight or if you water it?

Due to photosynthesis, plants need both sunlight and water. The answer to your question is no. Without both sunlight and water, the plant would die. If you want to do some science, you could plant three of the exact plant and one gets water, one gets sunlight and another gets both. You'll be able to see that if you both water and give them sunlight, they will grow the fastest.
