A mixture of cornstarch and water makes a suspension. The suspension feels like a solid when squeezed but acts like a liquid when no pressure is applied.
No, starch added to water at room temperature forms a colloidal suspension, not a true solution. The starch particles do not fully dissolve in the water but dispersed throughout, leading to a cloudy mixture rather than a clear solution.
Starch in water may occur during cooking when starch-containing foods are rinsed or soaked in water. Starch granules can release into the water due to mechanical action or heat, resulting in a cloudy appearance to the water.

Cooked starch is homogenous. This is by the starch absorbing the water molecules thus creating a consistent solution.

Oobleck is a suspension of starch in water, It is also classified as a non Newtonian fluid meaning it exhibits interesting properties.
Starch is more soluble in water than in sugar. Starch molecules can absorb water and swell, forming a colloidal suspension in water. On the other hand, sugar dissolves readily in water to form a homogeneous solution.
