No all plant cells look green - only those cells that contain the pigment chlorophyll look green. The chlorophyll enables the plants to photosynthesize to make their food. The cells that are green are therefore those which may be exposed to sunlight.

The description of "green jelly beans" likely refers to chloroplasts, which are the structures in plant cells responsible for photosynthesis. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, giving them a green color, and are essential for converting sunlight into energy, effectively producing food for the plant. These organelles can be found in the cells of green plant tissues.
