Glucose plamids we just did this in my bio class... oops, i meant to say glucose-6 plastids*!!!!
Considering potato's are plants. I'd suppose it is the starch granules since they are specialized plastids for storing carbon hydrates.
leucoplast
a small, double-membraned organelle of plant cells and certain protists, occurring in several varieties, as the chloroplast, and containing ribosomes, prokaryotic DNA, and, often, pigment. by Garrett david cron
Starch is stored in potato plants primarily in the form of amyloplasts, which are specialized organelles that store starch granules. These amyloplasts are found in the parenchyma cells of the tuber, particularly in the cortex and endodermis layers. The starch granules serve as a source of energy for the plant during periods of growth or dormancy.
Yes, leucoplasts are found in potato cells. They are located in the starchy tubers or the underground storage part of the plant where they store starch for energy reserves.
The plastid is found in the cytoplasm, which is outside the nucleus. It is a specialized structure where starch, oils, proteins or pigments are stored.
Potatoes (the part we eat), are modified underground stems called stolons. The stolons have cells that store starch in a type of plastid called amyloplasts.
A chlorophyll-containing plastid found in algal and green plant cells.
Plastid
Chloroplasts are found in plants to facilitate photo synthesis.

Animals cells do not have plastid but plants do.
No, cytoplasm and plastid are not the same. Cytoplasm is the fluid inside a cell that contains organelles, while plastids are a specific group of organelles found in plant cells (like chloroplasts). Plastids have their own DNA and are responsible for functions like photosynthesis in plants.
leucoplast
The amyloplast is found in plant cells. It is a type of plastid responsible for storing starch granules.
The Disaccharide Sucrose found in a potato plant is in the flesh of the potato. The potato is nearly 100% starch and carbohydrates that produce sugars in the body.
An apicoplast is a derived non-photosynthetic plastid, found in most protozoan parasites belonging to the phylum Chromalveolata.
