Amyloplasts are used for the synthesis and storage of starch. Proteins are usually stored in the Golgi Apparatus. As for the plants oils, that is different depending on the plant.

They are responsible for the synthesis and storage of starch granules
Amyloplasts are found in plant cells.

Amyloplasts are non-pigmented organelles found in some plant cells. They are responsible for the synthesis and storage of starch granules, through the polymerization of glucose.[1] Amyloplasts also convert this starch back into sugar when the plant needs energy. Large numbers of amyloplasts can be found in fruit and in underground storage tissues of some plants, such as inpotato tubers. Amyloplasts are starch grains.Amyloplasts are plastids, specifically leucoplasts. Plastids are a specialized class of cellular organelles that carry their own genome and are believed to be descendants of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) which formed a symbiotic relationship with the eukaryotic cell.Starch synthesis and storage also takes place in chloroplasts, a type of pigmented plastid involved in photosynthesis. Amyloplasts and chloroplasts are closely related, and amyloplasts can turn into chloroplasts; this is for instance observed when potato tubers are exposed to light and turn green.
An analogy is a warehouse because they both store things.
Yes, other cellular structures such as human epithelial cells can be stained intensely by iodine. However, when examining amyloplasts, you must come to that conclusion yourself. Are any cellular structures other than amyloplasts stained intensely by iodine? What can you conclude about the location of starch in storage cells of potato? Good luck and ChaCha on!
