Plastids are present only in plant cells.
There are two types of plastids chromoplasts (coloured plastids) and leucoplasts (white or colourless)
Chromoplast: Consists of coloured pigments and gives different colours to flowers, fruits and leaves. The green colour pigment present in leaf is called chlorophyll which helps in the photosynthesis and a plastid with chlorophyll is called chloroplast.
Leucoplast: It stores starch, oil and protein granules in it.
