Plants store excess energy as starch similarly to the way that animals store excess energy as fat. The starch can later be converted back to energy as necessary.

The vegetable potato has starch in it. The sweet potato is also one of them.

Notable fact: If you freeze potatoes, the starch will turn into sugar.

Yes, potatoes have a lot of starch in them. Save for water and the skin (which contains almost the entire nutritive value) a white/tuber variety of potato is almost entirely starch.

Yes, many do. Starchy vegetables would be something like potatoes, beans, or yams. Cellulose is in every type of plant fiber. It is what gives vegetables a "crunch".
