Black body radiation

Why does black body radiation supposedly absorb, and not reflect light?

Hi! Black body radiation absorbs all energy, so there is no energy left to reflect.

Exactly, everything absorbed, transmitted, and reflected must equal to 1, so if all of the energy is absorbed, no light is transmitted and reflected.
