Chlorophyll
Chlorophyll is vital for photosynthesis, which allows plants to absorb energy from light. Chlorophyll molecules are arranged in and around photosystems that are embedded in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.
In very general terms, chlorophyll pigments capture light energy. Depending on what kind of chlorophyll they are and if they are in Photosystem I or Photosystem II they will have different specific functions.
They have special parts called chloroplasts which release, after photosynthesis (process of using light to create food), chlorophyll, which is green.
They absorb energy of light. That energy used to drive photosynthesis
why is the function of chlorophyll in leaves?
The reaction center contains special chlorophyll called Chlorophyll a.

chloroplasts
Chlorophyll A is the primary and most common Chlorophyll pigment being used by plants in the natural process of photosynthesis. There are auxiliary pigments which are Chlorophyll B, C, D and E.
Chlorophyll a can absorb solar energy, but only a few in the excited state of chlorophyll a can convert light energy into electricity.

Chlorophyll helps in photosynthesis
traps sunlight for photosynthesis
The function of chlorophyll is to capture sunlight and use its energy to make sugars for the plant... I think... Been a while since that unit.
