The plant cell that captures energy from the sun to make food is called a chloroplast.

Here's why:

* Chloroplasts contain a green pigment called chlorophyll.

* Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, specifically red and blue wavelengths.

* This absorbed energy is used to power the process of photosynthesis.

* During photosynthesis, water and carbon dioxide are converted into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. This glucose is the plant's food source.

So, the chloroplast is like a tiny solar panel within the plant cell, enabling it to harness the sun's energy to create its own food.
