The central vacuole stores starch and sugar primarily to serve as an energy reserve for the plant. Starch, being a polysaccharide, is a stable form of energy storage that can be broken down into glucose when needed. Storing sugars also helps regulate osmotic pressure within the plant cells and provides essential nutrients for growth and metabolic processes. Additionally, having these reserves allows plants to respond to periods of low light or scarcity of nutrients.
