Just go outside.
Look at trees, grass, bushes, ect. Why is it all green? Like why aren’t they all different colors? Why does it mostly all have to be green?

Because of Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is green and it’s what plant life uses to trap light energy from the sun, which is then used to combine carbon dioxide and water into sugars in the process of photosynthesis.

TL;DR: Plants are green because of Chlorophyll which is vital for photosynthesis, which helps plants get energy from light.
