No. Tap water or distilled water has no nutrients or minerals that a plant needs. If you leave a plant with just distilled water, it will effectively 'starve' love MeganX321 :)

All of these are good for plants. Tap water, though not fit for human consumption is good for plants unless there are harmful micro-organsims present in it. Mineral water is good for humans and plants. In plants, they provide some essential minerals. Distilled water is good as they do not contain any germs but they provide no other substances.
