The sun stores energy in the subatomic particles (mostly hydrogen nuclei) of the plasma that makes it up. As our local star fuses these subatomic particles into helium and heavier nuclei, tremendous energy is liberated in the process. This is the engine by which the sun derives it power, and the term we apply to the process is stellar nucleosynthesis. Later in life, the sun will fuse progressively heavier nuclei together until it is primarily iron, then burn out and die.

On earth, the energy of the sun that reaches here is stored as thermal energy in the materials on the earth. (A lot of this is re-radiated back into space at night.) It is also stored as chemical energy in plants. That chemical energy is transferred to animals. To a small degree, it is stored as electrical energy when we use solar (photovoltaic) panels to charge batteries.

sunlight CANNOT be stored in plants, or anything else for that matter.

it is only the energy that is converted from sunlight that can be stored.
