Answer;

Starch

Step-by-step explanation;

-Starch is a polymer of glucose that is used as a storage polysaccharide in plants, being found in the form of both amylose and the branched amylopectin.

-Polysaccharides are long chains of monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds. Three important polysaccharides, starch, glycogen, and cellulose, are composed of glucose.

-Starch and glycogen serve as short-term energy stores in plants and animals, respectively. The glucose monomers are linked by α glycosidic bonds.
