A type of plastid (plant cell organelle) specialized in storing starch.
From amylo- (starch) + -plast (a formed body or organelle); botanical term describing a starch-storing cellular structure.
Amyloplasts are like tiny warehouses inside plant cells—potatoes are packed with them because plants store excess energy as starch, and potatoes are basically nature's energy storage pods.
