Plants manufacture glucose as a result of photosynthesis. Glucose is a simple sugar, but the plant cannot store it as glucose, because it takes up too much room. Instead, the plant produces starch, which is basically glucose without some water. This process is called dehydration synthesis, and it allows the plant to store the sugar it needs more efficiently. Humans and other animals, on the other hand, store sugar differently. We can't store glucose either, nor can we store starch because we're not plants; but we can store glucose as glycogen. Both starch and glycogen are polysaccharides, and both are formed by dehydration synthesis.
Plants store starch in their leaves. Then at night, when photosynthesis doesn't occur, the starch is hydrolyzed into sugar. Then the sugar is translocated from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
It depends on the plant. For example, plants like carrot or beetroot store their food in the roots which is the part you eat. Similarly, a potato plant stores food in its stem which is the part we eat.
Plants use their starch stores whenever there is a lack of light and it is light which is fundamental to photosynthesis for producing food in the form of sugar.

leucoplast
Plants store their sugar in another form called complex sugar or starch. They do this because starch is soluble and is able to be transported easily.
it is a polysaccharide. plants store the food in the form of starch
The product of photosynthesis is glucose (sugar). Plants store it as starch.
