a starch is a stored food or glucose in plants for bad condition . if you had to know that there is starch in a leaf you had to do a experiment in which the end of the experiment the leaf will turn blue black
to show the presence of starch in a leaf:-
first of all pluck a leaf from the plant which exposed to the sun for 5 to 6 hours. boil the leaf for 2 or 3 minutes . now place alcohol in a test tube and put it in a Beaker which is filled with water ( alcohol catches fire easily that is why you had to put in a Beaker of a test tube that is filled with water)
now boil the leaf and in the alcohol of test tube . boil the leaf till it becomes colourless.
Now, take the leaf from the test tube with a pair of forceps and wash it with water . Now , put a few drops of iodine solution on the leaf.
after few times you will observe that the colour of leaf turns black or black indicating the presence of starch
