The majority of plants obtain there food by photosyntheses. This means that they use the light energy from the sun to combine carbon dioxide with water to make carbohydrates.

Through a process known as photosynthesis, plants use the energy in sunlight to convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into simple sugars.
About three hundred plant species do not photosynthesize but are parasites on other species of photosynthetic plants.

1. plants mostly obtain nutrients (NPK) from the ambient water and to some extend from the bottom;
2. under water plants grow only in areas to which sunlight can reach. this is because they can photosynthesize and grow.

(Adding to above)
Plants also need minerals (mainly nitrate salts) that they absob from water that has the nuitrients dissolved in it. The process of drawing water in through their roots by concentration difference is called Osmosis, if you want more info on that term, just email me :)
