Inside of the plant cell are chloroplasts. They trap the light to conduct photosynthesis, which gives the plant cell it's energy. It's kinda like solar panels. But much, much, muchsmaller. This is a sixth-grader, though, so my answer obviously isn't one that a college professor would approve. Also, chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which gives the plant it's green color.
I'm pretty sure it is chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that traps light energy for photosynthesis.
chlorophyll b traps most of the light energy used in photosynthesis.

photosynthesis
The chloroplasts turn the sun's energy into a kind of sugar.

Chloroplasts are found in plants to capture light energy
Chloroplasts in leaf cells absorb energy from the sun
Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants that traps light energy for photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll is the substance in the leaf that traps sunlight and gives leaves their green color. It is a pigment that plays a key role in the process of photosynthesis, where plants convert sunlight into energy.
chlorophyll b traps most of the light energy used in photosynthesis.
The leaf
When green light shines on a green leaf, the leaf absorbs most of the green light and reflects some of it, giving the leaf its green color. Red light is not absorbed as efficiently by the leaf, so it gets reflected, making the leaf appear green under white light.
