white phosphorus needs to be stored under water as it is poisonous n can ignite when in contact with air,in the same way red phosphorus is not so dangerous like white phosphorus and therefore is found in matchsticks.

∙ 12y agoPhosphorus is typically stored in the laboratory in a tightly sealed container under inert gas to prevent oxidation. It is often stored in a cool, dry place away from heat and sources of ignition due to its flammability. Special precautions are taken to handle and store phosphorus safely due to its reactivity with air and water.
Alkali metals are stored in oils.
Phosphorus to keep oxygen away from it so that it does not get oxidised
The white form element that is highly flammable is phosphorus. It is a nonmetallic chemical element that can ignite easily in air, leading to flammable reactions. This form of phosphorus is typically stored underwater to prevent accidental combustion.

Phosphorus is not important as a conductor.
Red phosphorusis not stored under either water or oil. It is rather safe, although friction can convert it towhite phosphorus. Red phosphorus is used in some matches.It is white phosphorus that is the real nasty one. That is stored under water. White phosphorus ignites spontaneously in contact with air. That is the element used in some military munitions.
The majority of our body's phosphorus is stored in our bones and teeth. It plays a crucial role in bone mineralization and structure.
about 85% of phosphorus is found in our bones and teeth.
All television and computer displays are dependent on Phosphorus.

Calcium and Phosphorus
Phosphorus is stored in the body primarily as phosphate in bones and teeth. It is also stored in cells as part of molecules like ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Excess phosphorus is excreted by the kidneys.
because it is highly reactive in nature & hence is stored under water
Calcium and phosphorus are stored in the bones. See: http://www.besthealth.com/besthealth/bodyguide/reftext/html/skel_sys_fin.html
