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.
you can find amyloplast in animal and plant 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.
Amylase is produced in the salivary glands of animals.
