No, plants can grow wherever they can obtain the basic nutrients of phosphorous, potassium and nitrogen. Phosphorous is the key nutrient for cell division, which contributes to growth. They obtain carbon and oxygen through their leaves, so they do not need soil.

Where do plants get the materials they need for growth and reproduction?

Plants obtain the materials they need for growth and reproduction primarily from the soil and the atmosphere. They absorb water and essential nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, from the soil through their roots. Additionally, plants utilize carbon dioxide from the air during photosynthesis, converting it into energy and organic compounds necessary for growth. Sunlight provides the energy required for this process, enabling plants to thrive and reproduce.
