Storage organs in plant stores organic food prepared in leaves. Later they re-export that food. But my question is where does they re-export that food?

A storage organ is a part of a plant specifically modified for storage of energy (generally in the form of carbohydrates) or water.[1] Storage organs often grow underground, where they are better protected from attack by herbivores. Plants that have an underground storage organ are called geophytes in the Raunkiær plant life-form classification system.[2][3] Storage organs often, but not always, act as perennating organs which enable plants to survive adverse conditions (such as cold, excessive heat, lack of light or drought).
During photosynthesis the plant uses chlorophyll, sunlight energy, carbon dioxide (from the atmosphere) and water to make glucose. Plants change some of the glucose (sugar) into starch which they store in their leaves, stems and roots, flowers, fruits and seeds.

Plants store some of the food their leaves create in modified roots, and stems. These modified configurations are named storage organs.
- Plants primarily stock their food sources in their roots.
- Plants generate glucose by the procedure named photosynthesis. This glucose is transformed into starch which is the warehouse structure of carbohydrates in plants.
- The food substances synthesized in the leaves are transferred to all parts comprising storage organs. Later they may be re-exported from storage organs established on the desire of the plant.
