Aislinn say: Simple; plants need sunlight to produce energy (through the chemical chlorophyll, one of the pigments that give plants their green color) and without sunlight, they spend all of their very limited energy reaching for it, which makes them extremely weak and more likely to die; without any light at all, the plants will just die without being able to produce energy.

Eventually they die, because sunlight is a plant's source of energy..

That is what happens to the seeds of plants that get washed down into caves etc and then germinate.
