The blue dye is usually a combination of glycerol and something else. But I believe the most important part is the glycerol. Glycerol is heavier than the buffer that you actually perform the electrophoresis in.

By adding the glycerol to your sample, you give it weight so that it doesn't float around when you're trying to pipette it into your well and so that it will just fall.

What is color absorption?

Absorption spectroscopy refers to spectroscopic techniques that measure the absorption of radiation, as a function of frequency or wavelength, due to its interaction with a sample. The sample absorbs energy, i.e., photons, from the radiating field. The intensity of the absorption varies as a function of frequency, and this variation is the absorption spectrum. Absorption spectroscopy is performed across the electromagnetic spectrum.
