    Many plants do not need direct sunlight. They are shade plants and house plants.

    No, all plants need sunlight to make their food in the process of photosynthesis which is the process by which green plants and certain other organisms use the energy of light to convert carbon dioxide and water into the simple sugar glucose.

    The only plant that does not really require sunlight would have to be the Broomrape in the UK, these plants act as parasites which root into other plants to steal food, they have no leaves or anything.

    there's no such plant because every plant need oxygen and photosynthesis which are brought by sunlight and air surrounding their environment. leaving these important factors that promotes the growth of plants, the plant will just lay down by itself dry and ready to collapse

    There are a few higher plants that do not photosynthesize. Off the top of my head, the only one I can think of is Indian Pipe.

    There is not. All plants are autotrophs (get energy from the sun).
