Does Ethereum block stores state, transactions and receipts external to the block?

Question

Does Ethereum block stores state, transactions and receipts external to the block (like in some external storage)? and the block just contains the hashes of State_root hash, Transaction_root hash, Receipt_root ?

It looks like the transactions and receipt themselves are not stored in the block. please correct if I am wrong

Almost.

• The state (e.g. account/contract/etc.) data is stored in a trie external to the block. The hash of the trie's root is stored in the block header.
• The transaction receipts are stored in a trie external to the block. The hash of the trie's root is stored in the block header.

The transactions themselves are slightly different. A list of transactions (I think in execution order) is stored in the main body of the block. However, a trie of the transactions is also maintained outside the block, and again the hash of the root of this trie is stored in the block header.
