Of course, storing up food for seven years in preparation for the biblical seven year famine would be a logistics exercise of unprecedented proportions. But it seems that it never happned. The Egyptians kept detailed documents of all the minituae of life, including contracts and business dealings, but scholars have never been able to find a reference to any such famine. Food was not stored during the famine, because it never really happened.

Why do plants need oxygen to survive?
When a plant feeds on its own food, that food is broken down in the same way that it's broken down in an animals body (including yours): with oxygen.

While a plant is photosynthesizing, its producing more than enough oxygen to break down its own food.

Canaan was gripped by a severe famine. Jacob sent his sons to Egypt (where they had a good food stockpile) to buy grain.

Joseph invited his brothers to bring their father and families to Egypt to get by during the famine. Jacob was happy to relocate to be with his beloved son.
