An amyloplast is a type of non-pigmented plastid found in plant cells, primarily responsible for the synthesis and storage of starch. These organelles convert glucose into starch granules, which serve as an energy reserve for the plant. Amyloplasts are especially abundant in storage tissues like tubers and seeds. They play a crucial role in the plant's metabolism and energy management.
