It absorbs carbon dioxide from the air and converts it to oxygen and glucose (sugar basically) through a process called photosynthesis. Basically all of the plant’s mass is from carbon in the atmosphere and water in the soil (and a tiny portion of minerals and micronutrients that are dissolved in the water in the soil)
