A plastid is a type of structure found inside plant cells that plays a crucial role in storing and processing important materials like starches and pigments. Chloroplasts, which are the green structures you can see in plant cells, are a special kind of plastid that captures sunlight to create food energy for the plant.

A plastid is a membrane-bound organelle found in the cells of plants, algae, and some other eukaryotic organisms. Plastids are considered to be intracellular endosymbiotic cyanobacteria.
