额……这个好像句子出自浙江某年的高考题.

Answer 1

意思：植物赖以生长的另一种东西是食物。

...before....套在定语从句中的时间状语从句

Answer 2

植物在生长前必须具备的另外一个因素（事情）是营养（食物）。

Another thing is food.是主干 plants must have before they can grow作定语修饰Another thing

单看 plants must have before they can grow这句，

plants must have before they can grow 这样分开看

Aother thing is food.是句子主干。其余为定语，省略了that,修饰thing.
句意：植物生长所需的另一种东西为养料（食物）。

Answer 4

Answer 5
