Plastids are of three types depending on the pigment they contain and the colour they impart to plant parts. Plastids are also responsible for the preparation and storage of food.
Chloroplasts are green plastids that trap the solar energy for photosynthesis.
Chromoplasts contain yellow and red pigments, they impart colours to petals and fruits.
Leucoplasts are colourless plastids which helps in the storage of starch.
