Plants, which do not require energy for movement, can afford to store food for energy in a less compact but more easily accessible form, so they have evolved use starch (a carbohydrate, not a lipid) for energy storage.

Lipids in plants are energy-rich form of food reserve. Plants tend to accumulate fats only when it is important to pack a lot of energy into a small space, such as a “seed”.

They are stored as triglycerides, and mainly in the seeds.
