Corn, also known as maize, is a tall cereal grain native to Central America. It is a staple crop cultivated globally for its versatility, serving as food for humans and livestock, as well as a raw material for products like corn syrup, ethanol, and animal feed. Corn plants produce large ears containing rows of kernels, which are the nutritious seeds. It thrives in warm climates and requires substantial sunlight and water. Beyond nutrition, corn plays a vital role in various industries, contributing to economic development and serving as a foundational component of modern agriculture.
