Answer 1

The plants you see do produce their own food using chlorophyll.
There is green color but its too light and some other colors (which may be red, purple etc depending on some other pigment present) masks the green color. So other colors will be visible.
Most produce chlorophyll and absorb sunlight for food.
They don’t look green because they contain other pigments that mask the green color, making them red, black, purple, etc, but they can still subsist on sunlight via photosynthesis.
