Starch or amylum is a carbohydrate consisting of a large number of glucose units joined by glycosidic bonds. This polysaccharide is produced by all green plants as an energy store. It is the most common carbohydrate in the human diet and is contained in large amounts in such staple foods as potatoes, wheat, maize (corn), rice, and cassava.
Pure starch is a white, tasteless and odorless powder that is insoluble in cold water or alcohol. It consists of two types of molecules: the linear and helical amylose and the branched amylopectin. Depending on the plant, starch generally contains 20 to 25% amylose and 75 to 80% amylopectin by weight.Glycogen, the glucose store of animals, is a more branched version of amylopectin.
Starch is processed to produce many of the sugars in processed foods. Dissolving starch in warm water gives wheatpaste, which can be used as a thickening, stiffening or gluing agent. The biggest industrial non-food use of starch is as adhesive in the papermaking process.
The word "starch" is derived from Middle English sterchen, meaning to stiffen. "amylum" is Latin for starch, from the Greek αμυλον, "amylon" which means "not ground at a mill". The root amyl is used in biochemistry for several compounds related to starch.

the damage is much deeper than you'll ever see
hit me like a hammer to my head
I wonder where you pushed the one you let
WHY DID YOU DO IT, WHY DID YOU DO THAT THING TO ME
WHY DID YOU DO IT, WHY DID YOU DO THAT THING TO ME
The only one who knows the truth,
man, that's him, me and you
My friends they listen to the things I say
they listen and hear more everyday
but I know they'd never understand it
because it was no accident you planned
WHY DID YOU DO IT, WHY DID YOU DO THAT THING TO ME
WHY DID YOU DO IT, WHY DID YOU DO THAT THING TO ME
The only one who knows the truth,
man, that's him, me and you
