Crop
A crop is any cultivated plant, fungus, or alga that is harvested for food,
clothing, livestock, fodder, biofuel, medicine, or other uses. In contrast,
animals that are raised by humans are called livestock, except those that
are kept as pets. Microbes, such as bacteria or viruses, are referred to as
cultures. Microbes are not typically grown for food, but are rather used to
alter food. For example, bacteria are used to ferment milk to produce yogurt.

WHAT ARE THE
DIFFERENT TYPES
OF CROP PLANTS?
Different types of crop plants can be distinguished by their function,
which can range from human consumption to animal nourishment. The
largest group of these plants includes those which are consumed by humans,
like root crops, leaf crops and grains. Other plant varieties serve as
accompaniments or seasonings, and may include things like oil-producing
crops or sugar plants. Many crops can also be used for animal feed, and may
include products ranging from corn to various grasses. Finally, some crop
plants fall outside of these basic categories, and may include things like
coffee, tea or tobacco.
The most common types of crop plants are those meant for human consumption.
This group of crops can be further broken down into categories based on
different plant features an qualities. For example, potatoes and yams are
considered types of root crops, while spinach and kale are two types of leaf
crops. Beans, cereal and grains represent additional types of plants meant
for human consumption, and include hundreds of different varieties. Fruit
and vegetable bearing plants and trees, as well as nut trees, also fall within
this grouping.

FOOD
CROPS
The term "food crops" refers to the world's major food supply derived
from plants; a crop assumes human intervention through agriculture.
In the main, food crops consist of grains, legumes (including dried
beans), seeds and nuts, vegetables, fruit, herbs and spices, beverage
plants such as tea and coffee, and so forth.
Some foods, like sea vegetables, are food crops in terms of gathering
rather than deliberate agriculture, although undoubtedly the best
sources of such foods are well cared for resources in terms of laws to
prevent over-harvesting, polluting, and licensing access.
