Hmm, that's not accurate at all

I'm with dickloraine on this one. Offline storage and retrieval of documents on Android is not only possible, but a standard feature.
I use Evernote for note taking and can set one or more to be offline if necessary. There is a free version of the app which works well too. As I'm using a Samsung mobile, I also have S Note, which is great for handwritten notes and the inbuilt handwriting conversion to text is amazing.
A quick look on the Android Play store reveals dozens of basic 'notepad' style apps, many of which work offline and will also sync with cloud storage. I'm not sure why you are struggling.
The bottom line is...all of the note taking apps I have ever used on Android will store them in plain text on the file system of the phone/tablet. Even if you need to take text from an email, you can simply copy and paste into a note taking app. This is all standard stuff on Android and you do have access to the file system, hence the confusion over your request.
