Chlorophyll is an important pigment in the process of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Chlorophyll a is the most common type of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll b is found in plants as well, but is yellow in pigment. Chlorophyll c and d are less common and are found in different algae.

In addition to chlorophyll a, blue-green algae also contain the pigments, phycoerythrin and phycocyanin, which give it a bluish tint.
