Which organ is the main store of starch?

The main organ for starch storage in plants is the potato tuber, though starch is also stored in other parts like seeds and roots. In animals, glycogen serves a similar function as a storage form of carbohydrates, primarily found in the liver and muscles, but starch itself is not stored in animal tissues.

Describe how tubers store starch in organelles?

First, the plant undergoes photosynthesis, as normal. Once the glucose is produced, it is turned into starch through a process called polymerization. This happens in the organelle known as the amyloplast. Once the amyloplast has turned the glucose into starch, it moves the starch to the stroma, which is the sponge-like material that gives support to the plant cell. The starch is stored here, until the plant needs the energy, at which point the starch gets turned back into glucose and is used to provide energy to the plant.
