A black body absorbs most of the light that falls on it. A perfect black body will absorb all of the light but will radiate electromagnetic energy according to it's temperature according to plank's law. This is why we call a black hole a BLACK hole. It absorbs EVERYTHING which falls into it and not even light can escape.
