The same way that water, food and sleep help you grow!

A plant needs water to stay alive, just like humans need it. The sunlight helps with the growth of the plant, pollen making, & photosynthesis (how plants make energy using sunlight). Plants make their own food but need soil for minerals. All plants need water, light, & air.
I hope this helps! :)

Ask my neighbour.
He is aged 47, runs a business, has two smashing 11 year kids (twins) a beautiful wife and a nice home.
Because I am retired and have plenty of time on my hands I do their garden, growing everything from seed.
This spring I looked out the window and saw him dig a plant up, look at it and re-plant it.
I went out and asked him what he was doing and he said he wanted to see how it was growing!
Apparently he had done this to about a dozen plants - and he couldn't understand why within a few days they were all dead!

well soil retains rater long enough for roots to soak up water. Also the soil has microorganisms that that convert inorganic stuff to organic stuff that the plant can take in. Also sunlight is used to create energy in the chloroplast in plants. choloroplast is green.

Learning Objectives
Plants make their own food in a process called photosynthesis.
Photosynthesizers support all other species.
Leaves are green because of tiny chloroplasts, a plant’s food factories.
Using energy from the sun, plants combine water and carbon dioxide to make food.
Plants get minerals, not food, from soil.
Plants transport minerals and water up from the roots using tubes called xylem, and transport food from the leaves to the rest of the plant through tubes called phloem.
Plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen through tiny pores called stomata. ...
=======================================
Soil provides water and minerals needed to keep plants healthy.
Water is needed for photosynthesis, and to help plants transport nutrients.
Xylem is a system of tiny tubes that carry water and mineral nutrients up to the leaves.
Phloem is a system of tubes that carry food and waste away from the leaves.
Roots absorb minerals and water from the soil.
Sunlight is the energy source needed to make food.
Chlorophyll is a green pigment that captures the sun’s energy to make food.
Carbon dioxide is a waste gas given off by animals and used by plants to make food.
Oxygen is a gas given off by plants. It is essential for most species survival.
Stomata are tiny openings in leaves through which gasses are exchanged.

Read your science book, kid and stop trying to find shortcuts to doing your homework.
