She is green for many reasons. In the context of the novel it is because of genetics or possibly something that her mother drank while pregnant. However, her green skin also represents her inherent differences from those around her.

She was born that way. When her mom was carrying Nessarose, the dad made the mother chew milk flowers so the other baby wouldn't turn out green. The baby did turn out normal but her legs came out in a jumbled mess and the mom died. The father blamed Elphaba for this.
