Taking all else into account, the single most important thing needed for life on earth to survive and exist is sunlight. The sun provides organisms with food, water and oxygen; all necessities in order for life to exist. Of course we cannot consume sunlight all on our own. Nor can we convert it into energy on our own. The process that makes it possible for us to benefit from sunlight is called photosynthesis. [1] Photosynthesis is chemical process in which plants capture energy from the sun, through
Plants only need a few elements to thrive, which are water, air, nutrients, and sunlight.
