A "crop" refers to any plant that is cultivated for food, fiber, or other agricultural purposes. Common examples of crops include wheat, corn, and rice. Farmers grow these plants in large quantities to harvest and sell them, providing essential resources for human consumption and industry. Crops can be classified into two main categories: food crops, which are grown for human consumption, and cash crops, which are cultivated for sale and profit. The success of crop production depends on various factors, including soil quality, climate, and farming techniques.
