Crop types refer to the various categories of plants cultivated for food, fiber, or other uses. The main types include cereals, such as wheat and rice, which are staple foods; legumes, like beans and peas, known for their protein content; and vegetables, which provide essential vitamins and minerals. Each type has specific growing conditions and uses. Additionally, there are fruits, which are sweet or savory products of flowering plants, and oilseeds, such as soybeans and sunflowers, used for cooking oils. Understanding these categories helps farmers and consumers make informed choices about agriculture and nutrition.
