The fact that we see things is based on LIGHT. Light from an object must come to our eyes - whether the object emits light itself, or reflects it from some other light source.

Your eyes depend on light reflection in order to enable you to see. Light reflects off an object and bounces into your pupil and stimulates the cones and rods in your retinas thus enabling you to see the object.
We need an source of light, an opaque object blocking the path of light, a screen behind the opaque object.
You can see things that do not produce their own light because they reflect light from other sources. When light from a source like the sun or a lamp hits an object, it bounces off the object and into your eyes, allowing you to see it. This is how you can see objects like books, furniture, and buildings that do not emit their own light.

The green-colored object will appear dark and almost invisible in a black room, as it will not reflect or absorb much light without any light source to illuminate it. The lack of contrast between the object and the room will make it difficult to see.
-- You "see" only when light enters your eye. -- You 'see' an object only when light from that object enters your eye. -- If the object itself doesn't generate light, then light from some other source must illuminate the object, and some of that light must reflect from the object to your eye. -- In absolute darkness, there is no light, and you do not 'see'.
This is a simple answer. Our eyes require the reflection of white light from an object in order to see it. If there is zero light in a room that is totally dark we can see nothing.
To see a shadow, you need a source of light, an object to cast the shadow, and a surface for the shadow to be projected onto. When the light is blocked by the object, a shadow is created on the surface opposite the light source.
No, to see objects without the presence of light is impossible. Even a little light will help you see an object. Light has to reflect from the object to the eye to allow you to see it.

Shadows are created when an object blocks light from reaching a surface. Even with a light source present, an object placed between the light source and a surface will block some of the light and create a shadow on the surface behind it.
You can see an object that does not give out light because it reflects light from another source, such as the sun or a light bulb. This reflected light then enters your eyes, allowing you to perceive the object's shape, color, and texture.
