Courses Plus Student 68 PointsFunction understand?
Why he is calling function for width pxify(blue($color) instead pxify (blue) ?
Why the $color variable is used as argument?

In this example the instructor is using the red(), green(), and blue() functions to get the percentage of those colors found within the variable being passed in. He's not using it to output a color, but instead to output the width to show a visual representation of the percentage of each primary color in the variable $color.

Courses Plus Student 68 PointsCurrent time of video where he starts to explain functions is 05:00.
He want to set width via function. That is ok for me. But it isnt clear how he defined function RED? He puts width: red($color). Where red function is defined?

This is actually a built in function for Sass. There are several function that Sass has built into the language, see: http://sass-lang.com/documentation/Sass/Script/Functions.html for more details.
