Starch is a product of grain, fruits and vegetables.
Starch is a complex carbohydrate which is water soluble and used by plants to store excess glucose. Common plants used to produce starch are corn, potatoes, rice and wheat.
Grain is the actual dried seed or fruit of a grass, such as corn, wheat, or rice.
Therefore grain contains starches.
