The invention claimed is: 1. A cartridge for an aerosol-generating system, the cartridge comprising: a liquid storage container, containing a liquid aerosol-forming substrate, liquid of the liquid aerosol-forming substrate including at least one flavor object; an outlet; a filter disposed between the outlet and a portion of the liquid storage container including the flavor object; and a liquid transport element, having a first part and a second part, movable from a first position to a second position, wherein in the first position the first part of the liquid transport element is external to the cartridge and adjacent the outlet, and in the second position the first part of the liquid transport element is internal to the cartridge and remote from the outlet. 2. The cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid includes a plurality of flavor objects. 3. The cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one flavor object is loose in the liquid storage container. 4. The cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein the flavor object is visible in the cartridge. 5. The cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein the flavor object comprises plant material. 6. The cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein the filter is movable between a first position and a second position in the liquid storage container, the filter being closer to the outlet when in the first position than when in the second position. 7. The cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein the filter comprises a mesh. 8. The cartridge according to claim 1 , further comprising a loose object in the liquid storage container, the loose object being movable in a portion of the liquid storage container, and the loose object being retained in the portion of the liquid storage container by the filter. 9. An aerosol-generating device including a cartridge, the cartridge comprising: a liquid storage container, containing a liquid aerosol-forming substrate, liquid of the liquid aerosol-forming substrate including at least one flavor object; an outlet; a filter disposed between the outlet and a portion of the liquid storage container including the flavor object; and a liquid transport element, having a first part and a second part, movable from a first position to a second position, wherein in the first position the first part of the liquid transport element is external to the cartridge and adjacent the outlet, and in the second position the first part of the liquid transport element is internal to the cartridge and remote from the outlet.
