Glycogen. Starch is exclusive to plant storage of carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates that are polymers include starch, cellulose and glycogen.
The monomers of complex carbohydrates are simple sugars, or monosaccharides, such as glucose, fructose, and galactose. These monosaccharides join together through glycosidic bonds to form polysaccharides like starch, cellulose, and glycogen.
Starches are carbohydrates. Starch in plants is like glycogen in animals: it is the storage form of carbohydrates. Starches are large chains of glucose molecules. Complex carbohydrates are primarily starches, while simple carbohydrates are sugars. So, you get starch when you consume complex carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles, and excess carbohydrates can also be converted to fat for long-term storage in adipose tissue.
glycogen
This is because animals and human have Enzyme amylase that can convert starch in simple sugar that can be used by it's cell to release energy. plant doesn't have the enzyme that convert glycogen into a form that can be utilized by it's body cells
Starch is the storage form of carbohydrates in plants. In contrast, glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in animals.
