peroxisomes
The plant structure that stores food and pigments is the vacuole. The vacuole plays a crucial role in storing nutrients, sugars, and pigments in plant cells. These stored pigments help give plants their characteristic colors.
The chloroplasts store pigments. They are found only in plant cells, not animal cells. They store chlorophyll and other pigments.
A colorless plastid that stores starch is called a leucoplast. Leucoplasts are responsible for starch storage in plant cells and do not contain pigments like chlorophyll, hence they appear colorless.
Food is stored in specialized organelles called vacuoles in plant cells, while pigments are stored in plastids such as chloroplasts and chromoplasts. Vacuoles store nutrients and waste, while plastids contain pigments such as chlorophyll (green pigment in chloroplasts) or carotenoids (orange and yellow pigments in chromoplasts).

The organelle that contains pigments of all colors except green is the vacuole in plant cells. It stores various pigments such as anthocyanins, carotenoids, and betalains, which give plants their red, orange, blue, and purple hues. Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, which contain the green pigment chlorophyll.
Photosynthesis pigments are found in the chloroplasts of plant cells. The main pigments involved in photosynthesis are chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids, and xanthophylls. These pigments are responsible for capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy during the process of photosynthesis.
Accessory pigments are found in plant cells and cyanobacteria. The thylakoid is the compartment, or organelle, where they are stored.
