Solution

Cytoplasmic inclusions are non-living intracellular substances that are not bound by any membranes and do not carry out any metabolic activity.
They are stored in the form of nutrients, secretory products and granular pigments present within the cytosol of the cytoplasm.
Eg- lipid droplets in fat cells, pigment granules in skin cells and hair cells, water-containing vacuoles and crystals.
