Plants store their food as starch and not glucose and they do so because Glucose is soluble, and since plants have to store their food in cells which are mostly liquid, it would be difficult to control their position if the stores were in a dissolved state. In addition starch is not osmotically active, so a cell can store a lot of food without causing problems of water flooding into the cell, and leaving it when the food store is used up. There are other less important reasons, but these are the two main ones
