Answer:

During the gram staining process, the gram-positive bacteria appear violet because it has a thick peptidoglycan layer. ... The iodine acts as mordant and it does not use as a stain. It helps to fix the crystal violet inside the peptidoglycan layer. If iodine is not added, it would appear purple rather than pink.
