The pigment you're referring to is likely chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the primary pigment found in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, and it plays a crucial role in photosynthesis by capturing light energy from the sun. There are several types of chlorophyll (such as chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b), but all serve the fundamental purpose of absorbing light, primarily in the blue and red wavelengths, and converting it into chemical energy to fuel the plant's growth and metabolic processes.
