They create their food with it. THis process is known as photosynthesis. The plant could not produce food without it.

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide into sugars. The plant releases oxygen as a waste product.

Within the photosynthetic organelle called the chloroplast, there are stacks of thylakoids shaped like discs (entire stacks are known as grana). And we know that the two stages of photosynthesis, which are the Light Reactions and the Calvin Cycle, take place in the chloroplast. There are photosystems embedded in the thylakoid membranes. The photosystem is composed of a protein complex called a raction-center complex surrounded by light-harvesting complexes which contain the chlorophyll pigments and carotenoids responsible for absorbing photons of various wavelengths (depending on the pigments present in the particular plant species). In essence, the chloroplasts take in light.

A plant will usually respond to light by photosyntesizing, or making it's own food off of it. I hope I answered your question.

Plants also respond to light by growing in the direction that allows the most light to fall on their leaves or needles, so that they can make the most food.
