Because electrons are obtained from water. Process is called photolysis
Photo electrons. So current due to these photo electrons is named as photo electric current.
In very general terms, electron transfer is caused by photoexcitation of the pigment molecules in the antenna complex. The chlorophyll and carotenoid molecules in the antenna complex become photoexcited when they absorb any wavelengths of visible light and then transmit resonant energy.
They are the chlorophyll. They are the main photosynthetic pigment

Converts solar energy to chemical energy
Photo electric emission process. Cells are named as photo emissive cells.

Yes. There are three types 1. photo emissive - here as light falls electrons are emitted 2. photo voltaic - here as light falls a voltage is developed 3. photo conductive - here conductivity changes as light falls on it
the energy used by sun to throw electrons (based on thersold frequency) is called work function
They would not be able to preform photosynthesis efficiently. Water is split to replace electrons raised to a higher energy level from the chlorophyll pigment as it gives it's electrons on to photo system II. Water replaces these electrons by being split. Without enough water this process, which makes glucose for the plant to build and use for energy, would be slowed considerably.
