First, the plant undergoes photosynthesis, as normal. Once the glucose is produced, it is turned into starch through a process called polymerization. This happens in the organelle known as the amyloplast. Once the amyloplast has turned the glucose into starch, it moves the starch to the stroma, which is the sponge-like material that gives support to the plant cell. The starch is stored here, until the plant needs the energy, at which point the starch gets turned back into glucose and is used to provide energy to the plant.

Potatoes plants produce flowersfruits and seeds.Yetthey never grow from seeds.Why?
Potatoes are usually grown from seed potatoes which are neatly cut from a potato to have one to two "eyes" which are the buds.The reason why potatoes do not follow the regular convention of flowers and seeds is because they are underground shoots i.e their roots store starch to form tubers and from these starch deposits,new shoots grow.
Sugars are stored as this?
When plants store sugar they store it as food

CHLOROPLAST
What is a tuber?
Tubers are various types of modified plant structures that are enlarged to store nutrients. They are used by plants to overwinter and regrow the next year and as a means of asexual reproduction. Two different groups of tubers are: stem tubers, and root tubers
What is the name given to areas in plant cells that store starch and pigment molecules?
The areas in plants that store starch and pigment molecules are organelles. The main organelles are plastids. Chloroplasts are photosynthesizing plastids. Chromoplasts are plastids that store pigments, though some pigments, such as pink, purple and anthocyanins are usually stored in the vacuole of cells. Amyoplasts are plastids that store starches.
How many amyloplast organelles in a potato cell?
The main function of amyloplasts in potatoes are to store starch and sugars in the potatoe cells.
What is the structure of amyloplast?
An analogy is a warehouse because they both store things.
How do you store dahlia tubers?
You need to store the tubers in a dry room that is about 50 degrees Fahrenheit. This is usually a heated garage or basement.
Do Irish potatoes store food in the stem?

Does dahlia store food for the plant?
Dahlia store food in their tubers.
Where should I store my dahlia tubers?
