Plant appear green because they contain green pigment called chlorophyll. When sunlight fall on the leaves then chlorophyll absorb this light and some part of light reflected back and come into our eyes. So plants appears green.

Chlorophylls absorb light minimally at green (500-570 nm) wavelengths. Therefore, the green component of light will be maximally reflected when it interacts with chloroplasts.
