Carbon dioxide is used in life jackets which often contain canisters of pressured carbon dioxide for quick inflation. High concentrations can also be used to kill pests, such as the common moth ball. The gas is used commonly to produce carbonated soft drinks and soda water. Leavening agents produce carbon dioxide to cause dough to rise, it extinguishes flames and some fire extinguishes especially those designed for electrical fires, contain liquid carbon dioxide under pressure. Plants require it to conduct photosynthesis and green houses may enrich their atmospheres with additional CO2 to boost plant growth.

This it the type of gas that plants need to make food?

Plants need carbon dioxide (CO2) gas to carry out photosynthesis, the process by which they make food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. During photosynthesis, plants convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates to provide energy for growth and reproduction.
