Phosphorus is generally stored in the Kerosene Oil.

This is 'cause whenever phosphorus comes in direct contact of atmospheric air, it catches fire.

So, to prevent the direct contact of Phosphorus with air, it is stored in Kerosene oil as Kerosene Oil acts as a barrier between Atmospheric air and Phosphorus, which cuts the contact of Phosphorus with the outside air.
