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 .
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.

A potato can represent an amyloplast. Amyloplasts are specialized organelles found in plant cells responsible for storing starch, similar to how a potato stores starch as a food reserve.
starch grains store food for plant cell .the starch grain just re-produces on and on. but like the Amyloplast, amyloplast gives away starch grain in its cell.
