the energy stored in an unlit candle is chemical potential energy, and it is stored in the bonds between the atoms in the hydrocarbons (wax) that make up the candle.

Is a candle a living organism?
Neither a lit or unlit candle is a living organism. It is an inanimate object.
Would an unlit wax candle melt on a 40 degrees celsius day?
it might get a little soft...
True or false a stick of unlit dynamite is an example of kinetic energy?
False, it is chemical energy
Where does water vapour from a candle come from?
The heat from a candle is stored in the chemical bonds of the oxygen and the candle wax. When you use a match to light the candle, you are activating the chemical reaction between the oxygen and the wax, which releases the energy stored in the bonds of the wax and oxygen. The products of the reaction, carbon dixode and water, require less energy for their bonds. So, all the extra energy that was stored in the wax and the oxygen is released to the air around the candle (the extra air that's not being used to react with the wax). Remember, if you put a jar over a candle, it will go out because it runs out of oxygen to react with.
Energy flow diagram for a candle?
The wax in the candle contains chemical energy. When you burn the candle the chemical energy is transferred into heat (thermal) and light energy.
What form is was the energy originally in candle before it was lit?
Potential energy is in an unlit candle, which is converted to heat energy, once the candle is lit.

What do you observe in unlit candle qualitative?
In an unlit candle, the qualitative observations would be its solid wax structure, the presence of a wick, and the lack of a flame or melted wax.
What energy is stored in the wax of a candle?
It is potential energy inside the candle and wick and then made into light and heat energy by combustion
