Leaves look green because of a pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and uses it to make food for the plant through a process called photosynthesis. This pigment reflects green light, which is why leaves appear green to our eyes.

Why are leaves greens?

Leaves are green because the cells form which they are made contain structures called chloroplasts which are filled with a green coloured chemical called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs all the light which is not green and uses the energy in this light to make sugars. Thus the green leaves of plants make the food that plants need to grow (and which animals get when they eat plants).
