Can you answer this Hong Kong Primary1 entry test question?

Someone sent this question to me via Line.
I took about 4 hours to find out the right answer!
The question is...

"A rich man needs it. A poor man has it. If you eat it you die and when you die you can take it with you"

IT, here, is a seven letter word.
So, what is it???

Take your time to find out the answer
You can research the answer from Google but let's try it first!

My answer is so different form the real answer!
I though so hard and found out that it was "freedom".
After searching the real answer on the internet, I found a real answer and ah! make sense! haha
The answer is not that difficult but it's true when we put it all in the message. I just though too deep.

I'm curious about your question, so I find the answer from searching on Google. The answer is 'nothing'.
A rich man needs 'nothing'. A poor man has 'nothing'. If you eat 'nothing' you die and when you die you can take 'nothing' with you.
After I knew the answer, I really like these sentences.
It's like moral that no matter who you are; rich or poor, when you die you can't bring anything with you.

I have no idea about it.
This is a really tough question.
How come the 1st grade kid can find it out?
It's a good quote, though. I like it.

Actually, I really have no idea about it.
For me, this question is too difficult to answer even I'm older than them, I can't answer as well.
And I wonder why the school let them do this because it is not appropiate for their age and ability.

็็็้๋Honestly, I cannot answer it.
I think it's too hard for primary 1.
Different people so it will have different ideas.
This question like the question what color tablecloth would you suggest for mother's day?
I think it doesn't have the best answer.

The question is ......
"A rich man needs... A poor man has... If you eat you die and when you die you can take with you"
Honestly, I have on idea about it. I just thought that. What kind of this question.
But, when I looked for couples comment under the post. the first thing that came to my mind is.

"A rich man needs MONEY. A poor man has NOTHING. If you eat MONEY you die and when you die you can take NOTHING with you"
