Answer:
The fruits and leaves of plants have different colours due to the presence of different colour pigments in them.
The green color of the leaves is due to the pigment, chlorophyll, which is essential in photosynthesis. Leaves help in preparing food for the plant.
Red colour in tomato fruits is due to the pigment, lycopene. The function of fruits is to look attractive for them to be picked up, and in turn aid in the dispersal of their seeds, helping in plant propagation.
