The plants store starch as polysaccharide in their plastids.
Starch is stored in plants. Starch is made up of glucose.
Starch
plastids
The areas in plants that store starch and pigment molecules are organelles. The main organelles are plastids. Chloroplasts are photosynthesizing plastids. Chromoplasts are plastids that store pigments, though some pigments, such as pink, purple and anthocyanins are usually stored in the vacuole of cells. Amyoplasts are plastids that store starches.
Monosaccharides
Plastids are the main organelles that store these compounds. All plastids are related in origin and many can become other types given the right circumstances. Photosynthesizing plastids are known as chloroplasts (the most commonly known type) Plastids for pigment storage are known as chromoplasts Starch storage plastids are called amyloplasts. However, some pigments in plants, such as the pink/purple/blue anthocyanins are usually stored in the vacuole of the cells.
Accessory pigments are found in plant cells and cyanobacteria. The thylakoid is the compartment, or organelle, where they are stored.

The vascular plants store sugars in their fruit pulp in the form of polysaccharides. On ripening of these fruits, these polysaccharides get converted into mono and disaccharides.

Plants cells store food in their vacuole
Plastids are cells found in plants. They mainly contain pigments beneficial to the plant, such as those used in photosynthesis.
Because glucose is such an important molecule from which organisms obtain energy, plants and animals will string together units of glucose called polysaccharides. Plants store glucose as a polysaccharide called starch.
