The term "complex carbohydrates" refers to polysaccharides. This is as opposed to simple carbohydrates, or sugars (monosaccharides and disaccharides). Some nutritionists, however, use the term complex carbohydrate to refer to any sort of digestible saccharide present in a whole food where fiber, vitamins and minerals are also found.

The polysaccharides are known as carbohydrates?
Yes polysaccharides are carbohydrates. These are complex carbohydrates as they consist of long (sometimes) branched sturctures. Examples of polysaccharides are starch, cellulose and glycogen.
What is a complex carbohydrate?
Carbohydrates serve as fuel and building material.. They include both sugars and polymers of sugars. The simplest are the monosaccharides or single sugars, also known as simple sugars. Disaccharides are double sugars consisting of two monosaccharides joined by condensation reaction. Polysaccharides are carbohydrates which are made up of many monosaccharides condensed together; they are also called Complex Carbohydrates.
