Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the term for the process through which plants produce food, and this food is then stored as carbohydrates (glucose and starch).

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants cannot store glucose as it is, but store in the form of starch because glucose is insoluble in water.

Detailed explanation-3: -The starch in non-photosynthetic tissues, such as seeds, stems, roots or tubers, is generally stored for longer periods and regarded as storage starch. Remobilization takes place during germination, sprouting or regrowth, again when photosynthesis cannot meet the demand for energy and carbon skeletons for biosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Starch is stored in chloroplasts in the form of granules and in such storage organs as the roots of the cassava plant; the tuber of the potato; the stem pith of sago; and the seeds of corn, wheat, and rice.
