Zea mays is an erect, robust, usually unbranched annual plant. It can grow up to 6 metres tall but is more likely to around 2 metres with cultivars that can range from around 1 metre up to 3 metres or more. Maize is one of the most commonly cultivated crops in the world, providing a range of foods including popcorn, sweetcorn and a grain that can be ground into a flour. It was first domesticated in the Americas around 4,000 BC, but its cultivation has since spread to most parts of the world.
