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.

It's basically a group of green pigments used by organisms that convert sunlight into energy via photosynthesis. First used in 1819, the noun chlorophyll derives from the Greek words khloros, meaning "pale green" and phyllon, meaning "a leaf." Plants use chlorophyll to trap energy from the sun.
