<P> A storage organ is a part of a plant specifically modified for storage of energy ( generally in the form of carbohydrates ) or water . Storage organs often grow underground , where they are better protected from attack by herbivores . Plants that have an underground storage organ are called geophytes in the Raunkiær plant life - form classification system . Storage organs often , but not always , act as perennating organs which enable plants to survive adverse conditions ( such as cold , excessive heat , lack of light or drought ) . </P>
