Is Blue Light Better than Red Light for Plants?

I've heard that red and blue light are beneficial for plant growth. What are their roles? Is blue light better than red light?

No, both colors are essential for plant development. This is the rationale behind all the growers who had those purple lights in their grow settings.

Blue light is crucial for plants in the seedling and vegetative stages because it encourages the absorption of chlorophyll and photosynthesis, which helps plants develop robust roots and stems. Por otro lado, red light aids in flowering and fruiting. It also aids in the plant’s germination, bulb development, and root growth at the early stage.
