What is the relationship between plants and inanimate nature manifested in?

Plants live and function due to their relationship with inanimate nature: sunlight, trace elements in the soil, air. For example, in sunlight, the process of photosynthesis occurs, without which plants would not be able to saturate the atmosphere with oxygen. Gas exchange of atmosphere and plants takes place – the cycle of carbon dioxide and oxygen. Minerals are transported through the root system of the plant from the soil, which also contributes to plant life.
