Plastids are a type of organelle found in plant cells and some eukaryotic algae. They are broadly classified based on the pigments they contain. Leucoplasts are non-pigmented plastids primarily involved in the storage of food substances like starch (amyloplasts), lipids/oils (elaioplasts), and proteins (aleuroplasts).
