Animals such as frogs, certain insects, and some plants have storage sacs for solid or liquid content. These storage sacs can be used for storing food, water, toxins, or reproductive fluids.

The vacuole
Storage sacs in biology refer to specialized structures within cells or organisms that serve to store various substances, such as nutrients, waste products, or other molecules. In plant cells, for example, vacuoles act as storage sacs for water, ions, and sugars, helping to maintain turgor pressure and support cellular functions. In animals, lysosomes can be considered storage sacs for enzymes and waste materials, while adipocytes store fat. These structures play crucial roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis and overall organismal health.
In worms, sperm sacs serve as the storage site for sperm produced by the male reproductive system. These sacs store the sperm until it is transferred to the female during mating, allowing for efficient fertilization of eggs.
A stack of flat sacs stacked up on each other typically refers to a collection of flexible, often fabric or plastic, bags that are arranged vertically. This arrangement allows for efficient storage and organization, making it easier to access and retrieve individual sacs. Such stacks can be used for various purposes, including packaging, storage, or as part of a display in retail settings.
They are just armpits, nothing to worry about :) If your gecko were to get chunky, there would be little sacs there instead, as a protein storage.
The membrane-bound sacs in the Golgi complex are called vesicles. These vesicles transport and package proteins and other materials synthesized within the cell for storage or secretion.
Vacuoles
The tiny sacs in the cell that may contain starch are called amyloplasts. Amyloplasts are specialized organelles responsible for storing and synthesizing starch in plant cells. They play a crucial role in the storage of energy reserves in the form of starch.
