Final answer:

Plants store energy as starch made up of glucose polymers, amylose, and amylopectin.


Explanation:

Plants store energy in the form of starch, which is a polymer of glucose composed of amylose and amylopectin. The excess glucose, beyond the plant's immediate energy needs, is stored as starch in plant parts like roots and seeds. When humans consume this starch, enzymes break it down into smaller molecules like maltose and glucose for absorption.
