Grass is green because of a substance called chlorophyll. This is what allows the plant to change sunlight into energy.

Plants, unlike animals, feed themselves. Chlorophyl is in every leaf cell and chlorophyl is green. Chlorophyl converts sun energy into sugars which the plant sends down to the roots which grow and return water and nutrients to the leaves which grow and produce more sugar . . . It's called the Krebs Cycle.
There are variants of living organisms like lichen and bacteria and molds and viruses which can, in a way, be plant-like or animal-like but that's a different topic.

Because of the green pigments in it!
There is red grass as well and it because of the red pigment.
And that is the way God created it. Gradual evolution by cross pollination has created grass with colours in between.

Grass appears green because it absorbs all the colors of the light spectrum except green. The green light is reflected, and that is what we see.
