Answer:

Chlorophyll is a green pigment that gives most plants their color.The reason that it is green is because it absorbs other colors of light such as red and blue, so in a way the green light is reflected out since the pigment does not absorb it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chlorophyll is a pigment and pigments are known to absorb some light wavelengths and reflect the others. The ones which are reflected are the colors that we see. Chlorophyll has several types, some reflect green, some reflect orange light, and some reflect other shades of the spectrum.
