Detailed explanation-1: -Plants store their food in the form of starch in various parts of them. Starch is a polysaccharide of glucose monomers. Glucose residues are linked by glycosidic bonds. This starch can be stored in the leaves, stems, roots, flowers, fruits, and seeds of a plant.
Detailed explanation-2: -The starch is stored in different organs in each plant: in chloroplasts, in the form of granules and roots of the cassava plant; the tuber of the potato; the stem pitch of sago; and the seeds of corn, wheat, and rice.
Detailed explanation-3: -Notably, the starch grains in stem segments were found predominantly in parenchyma cells surrounding the vasculature, which probably experience the highest amounts of sucrose being unloaded from the phloem.
