Chlorophyll is a green pigment present in the thylakoid membranes inside the chloroplast. Chlorophyll is an important pigment for the process of photosynthesis. It absorbs light to provide energy for photosynthesis to occur.

It absorbs light (red and blue) for energy; the unabsorbed green bounces away and is detected by our eyes and thus appearing green.
