How do the potatoes underground contain starch when photosynthesis occurs in the green leaves above?

The product of photosynthesis is a sugar called glucose. Glucose is soluble in water and can therefore be moved round the plant to where it is needed in the plants vascular system. Thus the glucose is taken to the underground stems forming the potatoes and converted into its polymer form (starch) there.
