Answer:

Spring

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that energy associated with motion is known as kinetic energy and the energy associated with position or elevation is known as potential energy.

A ball on floor which on the rest condition have zero potential energy but on the other hand a ball at a height h from the floor have mgh potential energy.

Spring is the mechanical component which stored potential energy.
