photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction because sunlight energy is absorbed during the process of photosynthesis by the plants.
And our definition says that when in a reaction heat is absorbed it is termed as endothermic reaction.

Photosynthesis is considered to be an “endothermic reaction” because it absorbs the sun’s energy to enable the reaction to happen.  

Like most of the endothermic reactions, the plants do not absorb heat but they absorb sun’s photothermal energy to perform ‘photosynthesis’ in order to produce starch.

The plants prepare starch by using “water and carbon dioxide” in the presence of “sunlight” to produce starch. The energy absorbed is mostly used in the photolysis of water.
