Corn

Corn is a noun meaning the large cultivated grain plant Zea mays or the edible kernels it bears on cobs. In North American English, it often refers specifically to maize, while in other varieties it can mean any cereal grain or, contextually, a hard seed from different grasses. It can also denote a staple food product made from these kernels. The term also appears in phrases like street corn or corn-on-the-cob.
