What type of plant? It’s hard to tell in the photo. What specific problem are you seeking help on?

Dahlia and it looks like it’s dead

Bulbs can be surprisingly resilient! Don’t rip it out, if you care for this plant, until next season. You may be pleasantly surprised, of course, unless she’s really dead, dead, dead! 😊💚🪴

One of the things I would do is to take off the old flowerheads. They’re just sapping energy from the plant that she might need to maintain her health. I can also see that she has holes in her leaves, which I’m assuming means that something is eating her.  
I would spray with something like Neem to kill any bugs. She could probably also use some fertilizer and some good old H2O. Good luck!  
😊💚🪴
