Solution

The correct option is D

All of the above


Starch is commonly stored in all of the above mentioned places. Amyloplasts are plastids that store starch in their internal membrane compartments. Roots are used as storage organs by some plants other than their regular function of anchorage and absorption. Roots that store food material help in protecting the food from herbivores and other organisms feeding on them. When the plants do not receive enough sunlight to perform photosynthesis, they use the starch stored in these organs to perform their vital functions.Seeds store starch in order to nurture the growing embryo.
