A plastid (specialized structure in plant cells) that functions in storing starch and other starches-related compounds.
Variant or related term to 'amidoplast,' combining 'amido-' with '-plastid' (from Greek 'plastis' meaning formed). This term reflects earlier biological nomenclature for cellular structures.
This is basically another name for starch-storing compartments in plants—botanists used slightly different terms before everyone agreed on standard naming!
