Answer:
Leucoplast. Leucoplasts (Fig. 1.9C) are a group of plastids that include many differentiated colorless organelles with very different functions (e.g., the amyloplasts), which act as a store for starch in non-green tissues such as roots, tubers, or seeds
Leucoplasts are colourless plastids and mainly help in storage of food compounds like starch, proteins and oil drops. Such colourless plastids are present in underground roots, stems.

Leucoplasts:
colourless plastids for monoterpene synthesis; leucoplasts sometimes differentiate into more specialized plastids: Amyloplasts: for starch storage and detecting gravity (for geotropism) Elaioplasts: for storing fat. Proteinoplasts: for storing and modifying protein.
