Food privdes all the nutrients that help an organism to:

-grow

-stay healthy

-repair tissues(in animals) or damaged parts of their "body" easily, whether it is a bacteria, a plant, or an animal.

Food also helps with respiration, especially glucose, which gets oxidised and is turned into carbon dioxide, which is excreted from the body in any for more oxygen.
