ATP only stores the energy in electrons, which are bound to the hydrogens, and transports it to many places.

ATP is not very stable for long-term storage and is used quickly after it is made.
Plants produce sugars through photosynthesis, which allows them to store energy in a more stable and long-term manner compared to ATP. Sugars can be stored in various forms and used as needed, providing energy for growth and metabolism over longer periods. While ATP serves as an immediate energy source, the energy contained in sugars is more suitable for long-term storage.
