Best Answer

In plants, usually pigment is more important in the process of fertilization than any other. Pigment will attract different insects, birds, or other animals which aids in the transport of pollen to other plants for cross fertilization.

However, for plants like the venus fly trap, color attracts prey.

The accessory pigment role is to mainly start the process of photosynthesis. This is usually done through absorption of light energy which will pass electrons along the primary pigment.

An accessory pigment is any non-chlorophyll pigment present in a chloroplast which helps to absorb light but to send all the energy to a chlorophyll.
