The daffodil gets its food through photosynthesis. When the plant has leaves, it is making its food through the interaction between chlorophyll in its leaves and sunlight. It uses this food during the flowering process and stores some of the food in the bulb underground. The following year, the bulb will use this food to send new shoots up through the soil to develop a new green plant.

Though they are both flowering, herbaceous, bulb perennials, the tulip and the daffodil are genetically noncompatible. The daffodil is of the Family Amaryllidaceae and the tulip is of the Family Liliaceae. That's just too distant for the genes to line up properly for cross-pollination. Therefore, nothing happens except a waste of good pollen when pollen from one visits the stigma of the other.
