Plants contain other pigments besides chlorophyll to enhance their ability to absorb light and protect against damage from excess sunlight. Carotenoids, for example, capture light in different wavelengths and contribute to photosynthesis, while also providing photoprotection. Additionally, pigments like anthocyanins can deter herbivores and attract pollinators, playing a crucial role in plant reproduction and survival. This diversity in pigments allows plants to adapt to various environmental conditions and optimize their energy conversion.
