Leaves appear green because they contain chloroplasts that are green in color. The function of these chloroplasts are to absorb sunlight and convert it into energy for the plant to feed on. In order for us to be able to see an object, the object must reflect light and in this situation the chloroplasts reflect sunlight and leaves appear green.
