Hybrids refer to organisms or products that are created by combining two different species or varieties. In nature, this can occur through processes like cross-pollination, where plants like roses or corn produce new varieties with traits from both parent plants. In the automotive world, hybrids typically refer to vehicles that use both a traditional internal combustion engine and an electric motor, improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions. In agriculture, hybrid crops are often developed to enhance yield, disease resistance, or adaptability to different climates. For example, hybrid corn is widely used because it can produce more grain than its non-hybrid counterparts. Similarly, in the animal kingdom, hybrids like the liger (a cross between a lion and a tiger) showcase how different species can interbreed, although such hybrids often face challenges in terms of fertility and survival.
