Answer:

Because chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to produce food for the plant.

Chloroplast is an organelle, having chlorophyll pigments in them. These pigments trap light energy to support photosynthetic reaction. Chloroplast are specific to plant cell because plants are the autotrophs which can prepare their own food by conversion of light energy to chemical energy.
