It stores starch in the form of starch grains . The outer brown covering is made up of cork cells . click on the links below for pictures – http://kentsimmons.uwinnipeg.ca/16cm05/1… potato cells full of starch grains on the link below = http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co… http://larryo.org/work/biology/potato_2.… http://larryo.org/work/biology/potato.ht… Potato starch grains only highly magnified on the links below
