Does a carbohydrate have to be both starch and sugar or can it be just starch or sugar?

Carbohydrates are made up of a large group of organic compounds which include both starch and sugar. Sugar is the simplest form, and they supply energy to living cells for respiration. Sugar can be stored as starch (which is insoluble). Starch can be broken down into sugar when it is needed for respiration. Both sugar and starch are carbohydrates.Carbohydrates are usually classified into 4 categories:monosaccharides (aka simple sugars) like glucose, fructose, galactose, ribose, and xylosedisaccharides like sucrose, lactose, and maltosedigestible polysaccharides like amylose (aka starch), and glycogenindigestible polysaccharides (aka fiber) like cellulose, chitin, and peptidoglycanAll are composed only of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

Why might plant storage organs (such as fruit or tuber) contain both starch and sugar?

Starch and sugar are essentially the same thing. Starch is a polymer (chain) of single sugar molecules. As the starch is made up or broken down, you would expect to find both in the cells responsible for this action.
