and in what form is it stored?​

Answer 1

The food synthesised by the plants is stored as starch. It is also called as amylum. The starch is the polymeric carbohydrate which consists of a large number of glucose units. The plant stores their food in the form of starch which acts like glucose and gives energy to the plants.

Answer 2

Food making process in plants is called as photosynthesis and synthesized food is stored as carbohydrates (glucose as well as starch). Plants are known as photoautotrophs or photosynthetic organisms which means that they are able to synthesize their food directly from carbon dioxide and water using energy from light.
