Both iron and titanium are ubiquitous in the crust. I think they are the 4th and 9th most common elements, and definitely far more common than carbon.

Yeah, but plants don't normally pull carbon out of the ground; they get it from the air.

No reason they couldn’t, if it was advantageous for them though.
