Plants primarily obtain sulfur from the soil in the form of sulfate ions ($SO_4^{2-}$) through their root systems. While some sulfur gases might be absorbed by leaves in specific conditions, the main source is soil absorption. Bacteria fixing sulfur into sulfates is not a primary mechanism for most plants' sulfur uptake.
