How Plants Make Their Own Food 🤔

**Photosynthesis** is the special way that plants make their own food. It is how they get the energy they need to live and grow. Plants are different from animals because they don't have to eat other living things to survive. They are like tiny food factories!

Plants use three main ingredients to do this:

  1. **Sunlight** ☀️ - They get this from the sun.
  2. **Water** 💧 - They get this from their roots.
  3. **Carbon Dioxide** 💨 - They get this from the air.
From these three things, they create their food, which is a type of sugar called **glucose**. They also make a very important gas for us: **oxygen**!
