Well, yes and no . All fat is adipose tissue and we all must have some. Fat, as a perjorative term is an EXCESS of adipose tissue.

What kind of cells store fats?

an 'Adipocyte' (fat cell), sometimes simply called adipose, are cells that specialise in fat storage. adipose tissue is a mainly made up of adipocytes. that is why adipose tissue is often referred to as fatty tissue, because the adipose tissue is made up of adipocytes which have fat stored in them. when you hear the word adipose its generally referring to fat, and remember lipid is another word for fat. eg : if something is lipid soluble, it means that it is fat soluble (able to disolve in fats/lipids). so i believe the answer to your question is adipocytes.
