There are no plastids in chromoplasts per se. Chromoplasts are a type of plastids. Chromoplasts store pigments which give color to certain parts of the plant and allow it to absorb certain wavelengths of light. Chloroplasts are a type of chromoplast that contain chlorophyll pigment and are the site of photosynthesis.

Plastids are cellular organelles found in plant cells. They are involved in processes such as photosynthesis, synthesis of pigments like chlorophyll, and storage of starch and lipids. Plastids can differentiate into different types, such as chloroplasts for photosynthesis and chromoplasts for pigment synthesis.

In plastids function varies with plastid type. Leucoplasts main function is storage, subtypes of leucoplasts include amyloplasts (store starch granules), proteinoplasts (store proteins) and elaioplasts (store oils). Statoliths are a type of amyloplasts that are used as a gravity sensing mechanism by the roots. A type of plastids called chromoplasts store pigments. Chloroplasts are a type of chromoplast that contain chlorophyll pigment and are the site of photosynthesis.

A chromoplast is a plastid that contains coloring matter other than chlorophyll. Plastids give flower petals and fruits their bright colors.
