Not necessarily. For example, most fungi cannot carry out photosynthesis.

Spore plants refer to plants that can produce spores, and plants that reproduce with spores mainly include algae, fungi, lichens, mosses and ferns. Spore plants generally like to grow in dark and humid places.

Gastrodia elata is a saprophytic perennial herb with unique ecology. Saprophytic orchids grow on dead and rotting plants, have no roots and cannot carry out photosynthesis. The plants that can't carry out photosynthesis are saprophytes and saprophytes without chlorophyll. Dendrobium can't carry out photosynthesis without chlorophyll and inorganic salts. Cuscuta chinensis is parasitic on the leaves of other plants and cannot carry out photosynthesis. Crystal orchid and Cynomorium songaricum can't carry out photosynthesis.

Living cells of green plants and algae containing chloroplasts can carry out photosynthesis. Under the irradiation of visible light, carbon dioxide and water can be converted into organic matter and oxygen can be released by using photosynthetic pigments through light reaction and dark reaction.
