True.

Plants can change starch to glucose but not glucose to starch since starch is useless to them the way it is, so they break it down into glucose. That's why they have no reason to be able to transform glucose to starch.

Further info: starch changes into glucose during a process known as photosynthesis.


Hope it helped,
