They use sunlight as their main source. They convert that with H2O into C6H12O6 which is glucose, a sugar that plants use for food. Ever wonder why fruits are so sweet? That the glucose for ya. Hope it helped!!!

Plants make sugar from water, carbon dioxide from the air, and nutrients they draw up through their roots from the soil. Sunlight is the energy source, and chlorophyll is the catalyst. The process is called photosynthesis.
Some plants like mushrooms do not use photosynthesis or chlorophyll, but draw their nutrients from rotting vegetation in the soil which has already produced sugars. Other parasitic plants draw their sugars and nutrients from other plants.
