Because the photosynthesis makes sugar and turns it green
Chlorophyll gives plants their green colour. There are other pigments in the leaves too, such as xanthophylls (reds) and carotenoids (yellows and Oranges). The combination's of the different pigments make different shades of green.
Plants look green because they obtain energy from the sun using a particular part of the light spectrum, mainly the red and infra red wavelengths.
