How do plants benefit from sunlight?

Plants benefit from sunlight through a process called photosynthesis. Sunlight provides the energy needed for plants to make their own food from carbon dioxide and water. This food helps them grow, develop, and produce flowers and seeds. Without sunlight, plants would not be able to produce the energy they need to survive. Sunlight is essential for the life cycle of plants.
