What do plants NOT need for photosynthesis?

• Soil

• Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

• Sunlight

• Water

Answer explanation

Photosynthesis requires sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. However, soil is not a direct requirement for this process. Soil typically provides nutrients but is not needed for photosynthesis, since not all plants need soil: for example, air plants and floating water plants also use photosynthesis.
