Explanation:

The carbohydrates not used immediately in plants are stored as starch, which serves as an internal energy reserve. Plants convert excess glucose (sugar produced during photosynthesis) into this insoluble polysaccharide for long-term storage in tissues, ensuring a future energy source.
