Yes, amyloplasts store starch in potatoe cells and when the cell is ready will help in the process of making sugar.
Amyloplast is also called leucoplast. It is a nonpigmented organelle, or plastid, occurring in the cytoplasm of plant cells. It transforms glucose (which is a simple sugar) into starch. The process of doing this is called polymerization. Amyloplast stores starch grains within their streched membranes. They also can transform starch into sugar when the plant needs energy.

Amyloplasts are organelles found in plant cells that are responsible for storing starch granules. They help to convert glucose into starch, providing a source of energy for the plant when needed. Amyloplasts are particularly abundant in storage organs such as tubers and seeds.
It is a plastid in cells that store starch
This is the definition of an Amyloplast . A that forms starch granules and occurs in the cell of the plant storage tissue .
Yes they are , they contain a lot of amount of sugar , and are a main source of sugar .
you can find amyloplast in animal and plant cells
An analogy of an amyloplast would be a factory warehouse where raw materials are stored and gradually converted into finished products for distribution. Just like an amyloplast stores starch in plant cells, a warehouse stores materials to be processed and used later.

The amyloplast is found in plant cells. It is a type of plastid responsible for storing starch granules.
The main function of amyloplasts in potatoes are to store starch and sugars in the potatoe cells.
