Partially correct

Explanation:

The statement is partially correct not all the materials needed for growth comes from the soil. For example carbon dioxide comes from air. The experiment that can be use is to get a pot of soil and weigh before planting on it, weigh it again after the plant has grown to a certain stage; The plant will weigh more than the difference in the weight of soil demonstrating that all the materials did not come from the soil.
