Detailed explanation-1: -Starch is stored in various organs of the plant body, such as roots, stems, leaves, fruits, etc. There are many plants that store starch in their leaves.
Detailed explanation-2: -Starch is synthesized in the plastids-chloroplasts in leaves or specialized amyloplasts in the starch-storing tissues of staple crops.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is notable that in the enclosed peduncle the starch grains are preferentially stored towards the lower region of the peduncle, close to this zone.
Detailed explanation-4: -Starch is mainly stored in xylem parenchyma ray tissue of woody underground organs, such as burls, lignotubers, and roots.
Detailed explanation-5: -It is stored most abundantly in tubers (e.g., the white potato), roots (e.g., the sweet potato), seeds, and fruits; it appears in the form of grains that differ in size, shape, and markings in various plants.
