All plants do! With fish in your tank, your main priority should be to get a healthy bacteria colony within your filter to remove ammonia and nitrite from the water. It is possible to have a tank with some fish in without a filter, just a powerhead (see - walstad method) but it needs reading into :)

Why do you ask?
 
Indeed, the majority of ammonia (if not all) and nitrite should be converted to nitrate in your filter by the bacteria. But the plants will certainly use that nitrate to grow, as it one of their 3 essential growth elements :)
