Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
During photosynthesis, glucose is formed, but it is stored in the form of starch. This is because glucose being osmotically active can lead to water imbalance whereas starch being osmotically inactive will not pull water and will not cause water imbalance in the plant.
