An analogy is a warehouse because they both store things.
Amyloplasts in a school can be compared to storage rooms where excess supplies are kept for later use. Just like amyloplasts store starch in plant cells, these storage rooms hold extra materials until they are needed. When there is a demand for supplies, the contents of the storage room are readily available for use.
Amyloplasts are used for the synthesis and storage of starch. Proteins are usually stored in the Golgi Apparatus. As for the plants oils, that is different depending on the plant.
Amyloplasts are specialized plastids in plant cells responsible for the storage of starch granules. They convert glucose into starch, which can later be broken down to provide energy for the plant. Amyloplasts are particularly abundant in storage tissues like tubers and seeds.
Potato contains amyloplasts, which are a type of plastid specialized for starch storage. These amyloplasts store energy in the form of starch granules, which provides the potato with a source of nutrients during growth and development.

Iodine stain is commonly used to detect amyloplasts due to their ability to stain starch granules purple-black.

analogy for a ship is analogy for a ship so its an analogy
So I actually looked this up on this site this morning for my bio quiz and couldn't find the answer,.. well I've got it now so here you go,.. Iodine is used to take a look at the amyloplasts and Methylene blue is used to highlight the nuclei.
Amyloplasts are specialized organelles containing starch granules, which act as statoliths in gravity perception. In gravitropic responses in plant roots, amyloplasts settle to the bottom of cells under gravity, leading to a redistribution of auxin that triggers differential growth and curvature in response to gravity. This mechanism helps plants orient themselves appropriately and grow in the direction of gravity.
