Does cotton contain starches?
All plants and animals contain starch of some kind. Cotton fibers are cellulose which is a particular type of starch. Actually, that is not technically correct. A starch by definition has alpha 1,4 linkage between its molecules while cellulose has beta 1,4 linkage. If you used the iodine test for starch on a piece of cotton, you will get a negative result.

Starch is found in plant foods which are eaten as 'fillers'. Grains such as wheat, maize and rice are examples, and anything made from them such as bread and pasta. There are also roots such as potato and cassava. Starch is a substance many plants use for energy storage, though a few use other substances, e.g. inulin in Jerusalem artichokes.
What would be the conclusion after testing a leaf for starch?
Starch is produced by leaves during Photosynthesis, therefore if the leaf has not been exposed to light then it will not contain starch, and so when tested the Iodine will stay Yellow/Brown. Consequently if the leaf has been left in the light Photosynthesis will have taken place and when tested the Iodine will go Blue/Black showing that Starch is present. Hope this helps :)
