Vegetables are obtained from a variety of plant parts eg roots, leaves, stems. What they have in common the the use of starch as a way of storing food. Starch is made by the plant from glucose (sugar). Glucose is made in the leaves by the process of photosynthesis. The glucose is turned into sucrose and then transported through cells called phloem to other parts of the plant. When it reaches its destination the sucrose is turned into starch as a way of storing it.
