Chloroplast in the cells of the leaves absorb sunlight and produce food by the process called photosynthesis.

Organelles called "Chloroplasts" contain a green pigment called "Chlorophyll" which captures the energy in sunlight which is used in the process of photosynthesis to make food (sugars - "glucose") for the plant.
