Why won't cassava be sweet after sun exposure?

Cassava will not be sweet in the sun, because cassava is not sweet at all.

The main component of cassava is starch. Although starch contains glucose units like sugar, it is a high polymer and has no sweetness. Not only cassava is not sweet, but also rice and corn with high starch content are not sweet. Starch can only be hydrolyzed to form maltose or glucose, resulting in sweetness.
