Answer:

☛ Simply put, it is amylum, more commonly known as starch.

Clarification:

✎ Carbohydrates are widely used by plants. Plants photosynthesise in order to get vital components. The primary product of photosynthesis is a triose phosphate (PGAL) which is then converted to glucose through polycondensation.

Subsequently, glucose:

  • can be used as a substrate to synthesise strutctural components of cells for instance cellulose is used for creating cell walls.
  • can be used as a substrate in cellular respiration in order to get energy for cellular syntheses for example of proteins and lipids.
  • can be converted into amylum, the main energy storage of plants.

Amylum is easily identified by using an indicator -  Lugol's iodine. Starch grains are responsible for appearance of navy blue colouration.

Explanation:

The compound that the plants make is carbohydrates which is then converted into starch to get stored in the plant body.

Starch is also a form of glucose which is easy to get stored. The process by which the autotrophs make food is photosynthesis.

The end product of this process is glucose which is used by the plants in their various types of metabolic processes.

The leftover glucose is converted into starch and stored in this form only.
