Description

Maize, also known as corn, is an annual grass (Zea mays) cultivated worldwide for its edible grains. It is characterized by its tall, sturdy stem with alternating leaves, and separate male (tassel) and female (ear) inflorescences. The female inflorescence produces numerous kernels, encased in husks, which are the edible parts of the plant. Origin: Maize was domesticated in Central America and has spread to become a globally important crop. Uses: Maize is used for human consumption (e.g., in tortillas, cereals, and snacks), animal feed, and industrial purposes (e.g., cornstarch, corn syrup). Nutritional Value: Maize is a good source of calories due to its high starch content and also provides dietary fiber.
