The photo shows a cross-section through a corn stalk. Most varieties of corn grow up to 3 meters in a year, with some reaching up to 6 meters, requiring high stem strength and hardness. Maize, also called corn, is a cereal grain that was first domesticated by indigenous people in southern Mexico about 10,000 years ago. The plant produces pollen inflorescences, known as tassels, and separate ovuliferous inflorescences called ears, which yield kernels or seeds after fertilization and are considered fruits. Maize is used for various purposes, such as animal feed, corn ethanol, and human consumption. The six primary types of maize are dent corn, flint corn, pod corn, popcorn, flour corn, and sweet corn. The term maize comes from the Spanish form of the Taíno word for the plant, mahiz. Maize is preferred in formal, scientific, and international contexts as a common name because it specifically refers to this one grain, unlike corn, which has a range of meanings that can vary by context and geographic region. The US and a few other English-speaking countries primarily use corn, while most other countries use maize.
