Why do we need to grow crops?
Solution
Crops are plants or plant products that are grown for a variety of purposes, including food, fuel, clothing, and more. Grains, which include wheat, rice, and corn, are the most widely grown crops on the planet, with wheat being the most widely grown. Livestock such as cows, horses, pigs, and sheep are fed with feed crops that are grown and harvested.
Complete answer:
Crops are plants that are grown on a large scale. Food crops (such as cereals, pulses, oilseeds, and sugar crops) are classified as food crops, whereas cash crops (such as jute, cotton, and rubber) are classified as cash crops.

Crops are also classified in India according to the sowing season. Kharif crops include rice, jute, maize, and cotton, which are sown during the monsoon, and rabi crops include wheat, mustard, gram, and other crops sown in October.
We need to grow crops because:
1. Crops are the primary source of food for us.
2. Farmers rely on it as a source of income.
3. Plants are harvested for raw materials such as starch, cellulose, and oil.
4. Crops are both a source of nutrition and a means of survival.
Note:
Plants used for other crops are included in horticulture crops (e.g. fruit trees). Bedding plants, houseplants, flowering garden, and pot plants, cut cultivated greens, and cut flowers are all examples of floriculture crops. Clothing (fiber crops), biofuel (energy crops, algae fuel), and medicine are all examples of industrial crops (medicinal plants).
