Presence of starch in leaves can be tested by iodine test. Iodine turns starch solution into blue-black colour. Pour few drops of dilute iodine solution on the boiled leaf. The leaf becomes blue-black which proves the presence of starch in it. The starch is a carbohydrate hope this helps you...!

Answer:

The iodine test is used to test for the presence of starch. Starch turns into an intense "blue-black" colour upon addition of aqueous solutions of the triiodide anion, due to the formation of an intermolecular charge-transfer complex. In the absence of starch, the brown colour of the aqueous solutionremains.
