Black/Dark purple.
Starch is made up of repeating glucose units. Though it is a non reducing sugar, its hydrolysis gives out pure glucose, which is known as dextrose. And glucose, as we know, is a reducing sugar and hence would give a positive result in Benedict's test.
The seed uses the starch until it become an adult plant or in other words, until it is fully grown to produce its own food. Inside the cotyledon, starch is present and thus, gives a positive result for starch :)
The maltose positive test will have a degree of how positive, it is. That will tell you how much of the starch has been digested.
The test is positive with starch because the iodine takes up a position in the centre of the starch helix which is blue black.
A red color is the positive result>
Starch doesnot give positive result for Fehling's test as it does not have a free hemiacetal group

Perhaps the iodine solution was old and gave a false negative.

Starch digestion (hydrolysis) is incomplete
No, it doesn't.
No, Starch is

E.coli does not digest the starch on a starch agar plate, therefore it does not produce amylase making it negative.
A red color is the positive result>
Iodine-KI reagent. Add to the substance being tested directly. Result: If positive, Turns Blue/Black If negative, (absence of starch) Solution remains orange/yellow.
