Sweet Corn (<i>Zea mays</i>), a robust annual grass from Central America grown for its edible seed heads, which are known as cobs. Corn was one of the staples of most nativeAmericans and was quite extensively developed by them. Modern forms generally have much larger cobs than the wild plants or the early cultivars. Corn grown as animal feed is usually called maize, though it essentially the same plant. Order: Poales, Family: Poaceae
