Crop is a plant grown by humans. Crops grown to feed people are called food crops. Crops eaten by farm animals are feed crops. Other crops, called fiber crops, produce fiber for use in clothing and other products. Some crops are grown to ornament (decorate) people’s surroundings.
Food crops include fruits, vegetables, and grains. Animal feed crops include forage, such as grasses and certain herbs. Some plants, such as corn, are grown both as food and feed crops. Cotton, flax, and hemp provide fiber. Ornamental crops include flowers, lawn grasses, shrubs, and decorative trees.
