Here's why:
* Plastids are a group of organelles found in plant cells. They are responsible for various functions, including photosynthesis, storage, and pigment production.
* Amyloplasts are a type of plastid that specifically stores starch.
* Chromoplasts are another type of plastid that store pigments like carotenoids, which give fruits and flowers their vibrant colors.
* Elaioplasts are plastids that store lipids. While they might not contain pigments directly, they can contribute to the overall color of a plant by affecting how light is reflected.
Therefore, plastids are the key players in storing starches, lipids, and pigments in plant cells.
