Solution

Pupil- The opening within the iris through which light passes before reaching the lens and being focused onto the retina is known as the pupil.

No light is reflected by the pupil because the light rays entering the pupil are absorbed directly or indirectly by the tissues inside the eye, no light is reflected from it, and the pupil appears dark.

Thus, the pupil appears black because no light is reflected from it.
