Plant's Nutrients...
Plants absorb many nutrients and to the nutrients which are energized, there are two categories and they are Non minerals and Minerals. However, in the category 'Minerals' there are two sub-topics which are Macro-nutrients and Micro-nutrients.
Non Minerals...
Light
Plants receive energy from light through a process of photosynthesis. This is how light affects the growth of a plant. Without light, a plant would not be able to produce the energy it needs to grow.
Water
Water helps plants tranfer nutrients through different part of the plant so it can live. If there is not enough water for a plant, the nutrients that a plant will need cannot travel or flow through the plant. A plant cannot grow if it doesn’t have healthy roots, so the proper balance of water is key when growing plants.
Minerals
Macro Nutrients
The primary macro-nutrients are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). These macronutrients usually are insufficient in the soil because the plants absorb so much of it for their growth.
The secondary macro-nutrients are calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and sulfur (S). Plants absorb a suitable amount of these macro-nutrients from the soil so soil fertilization is not needed.

Micro Nutrients
Micro nutrients are those elements of which are essential and very important however they are available in the soil and is absorbed by the plant in only small (micro) amounts.The micronutrients are boron (B), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), chloride (Cl), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo) and zinc (Zn).
Soil
In general, most plants grow by absorbing nutrients from the soil. The ability to do this depends on the nature of the soil. Depending on its location, a soil contains some combination of sand, silt, clay, and organic matter. The makeup of a soil and its acidity determine the extent to which nutrients are available to plants.
