Proper storage of grains is necessary to protect them from pests and microorganisms.

The given statement is true. 

The process of storing grains, including wheat, rice, corn, and barley, for future use is referred to as grain storage. Grain must be stored properly to maintain its nutritional content and quality, guard against pest and moisture damage, and reduce losses from spoiling and waste.

Grain storage is important for preserving quality and preventing contamination by pests such as insects and rodents, as well as microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria. 

Grains that are not properly stored can become infested with pests, spoil, and become unsafe to consume. Farmers may suffer significant economic losses as a result, potentially contributing to food shortages.
