It seems like you're looking for the correct term to fill in the blank in your statement. The most appropriate word would be "nutrient."

So, the completed sentence would be:

"A nutrient is a substance the body needs in order to grow and function properly."

Feel free to ask if you have more questions or need further clarification!
