Chlorophyll is the substance that gives plants their green color. It helps plants absorb energy and get their nutrients from sunlight during the biological process known as photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll is any of several related green pigments found in the mesosomes of cyanobacteria and in the chloroplasts of algae and plants. Its name is derived from the Greek words χλωρός, khloros and φύλλον, phyllon. Chlorophyll is essential in photosynthesis, allowing plants to absorb energy from light.
