plants get nutrients from their roots to their leaves by a passive process called capillary action. there are very small, hollow tubes that run up the plants stems, through which water and other molecules can travel up. molecules get into the plants roots through several processes: osmosis, diffusion, active and/or passive transport.

Everything Aubrey D said... I just want to add something.
Many plants have symbiotic relationships with fungi in the soil. I know this is particularly true with grasses and trees. It may be more widespread. It turns out that plant roots just don't have enough surface area to absorb all the minerals it needs. So they rely on fungi, which forms extensive hyphae (microscopic filaments) that essentially extends the plants root system. Fungi transferrs the minerals to plants, and plants in return provide fungi with food.

They have covered the plants pretty good but,the food is made from the plant absorbing CO2 and through a process of photosynthesis with watter the plant makes its food . All plants use CO2 in this manner. CO2 is absorbed and the plant keeps the C and gives us back the O2.this includes even algae.
