Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chlorophyll is a pigment that gives plants their green color, and it helps plants create their own food through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The green pigment in leaves is chlorophyll, which absorbs red and blue light from sunlight. Therefore, the light the leaves reflect is diminished in red and blue and appears green. The molecules of chlorophyll are large (C55H70MgN4O6). They are not soluble in the aqueous solution that fills plant cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Magnesium metal is present in chlorophyll, the green plant pigment, and is responsible for capturing sunlight during photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The organelles that contain a green pigment and are selectively found in plants are called chloroplasts. These organelles contain chlorophyll pigment, which allows them to capture solar energy to prepare food.
