The green substance in the leaves of plants is a pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is an essential pigment by virtue of which plants are able to carry out photosynthesis. Chlorophyll pigment traps solar energy and converts it into chemical energy. There are many types of chlorophylls. The most important chlorophyll is chlorophyll a, which is the reaction centre of a photosystem.

∙ 11y agoChlorophyll is green because that is the color it needs to be to produce energy for plants. Sunlight is one of the key components that gives a plant energy. It is the reflection of light off a substance that makes it look a certain color. Chlorophyll looks green because it absorbs so much red and blue light waves to make energy for the plant. The remaining wavelengths of light are reflected as the color green.
