Where is starch found in wheat plants, potatoes and cabbage plants?
Starch is a word for a special kind of carbohydrate, made of more molecules than something simple like sugar, but which can be broken down into glucose for energy by many organisms. The starch in the plants you named is produced in their green leafy parts, through photosynthesis. In cabbage, that is pretty much where most of it remains, though some is stored in the seed of the plant, so that it can allow the next generation of cabbage to have a food source while it is sprouting and beginning to grow. Potates do not reproduce primarily by seed production, and instead, they grow “tubers” in the roots underground. The tuber is the potato that you eat. The plant concentrates the starch that is made in the leaves in the potato. If you dig up the one potato and plant it someplace else, it will use that stored starch to feed itself while it grows a new potato plant, which will produce several new potatoes in turn. Wheat also produces starch in the leaves but concentrates it in the seeds. You
