You may not know it, but sunlight is actually a mixture of all the colors of the rainbow. Chlorophyll absorbs most of colors in light but not green. plants look green because chlorophyll reflects green light.
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 pigments in the chlorophyll are green and the reflected light make the plant green.
The leaf of a plant appears green because of a pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and uses it to make food for the plant through a process called photosynthesis. The green color of chlorophyll reflects green light, making the leaf look green to our eyes.

chlorophyll is the green coloured substance that helps to make the food
Plant leaves contain chlorophyll in its chloroplasts in mesophyll cells which make plant leaves green. Chlorophyll helps in photosynthesis by absorbing solar radiation for photolysis of water molecules.
=== Chlorophyll === It is not simply a dye to make the leaves green. Chlorophyll is the substance which allows the plant to feed itself.
Algae or other small plant life that grows in the water can make the sea look green. These organisms are photosynthetic and so contain the green pigment chlorophyll.
Its called chlorophyll which is in the plant's chloroplasts.
Chlorophyll is green, and it gives leaves the same color.
Sunlight
No, chlorophyll is responsible for the green color of plants, while frass is the waste produced by insects. Frass can be green if the insects have consumed green plant material, but chlorophyll itself does not directly make frass green.
