Explanation
A crop is a plant grown by farmers for food or other use, like wheat, rice, or cotton. Crops are essential for human survival because they provide daily food and raw materials. Farmers plant seeds, take care of the soil, water the plants, and harvest the crops when they are ready. In photography, “to crop” means to cut out unwanted parts of a picture. The word can also mean a short hairstyle or the yield of plants grown in a season. So, “crop” is mainly about growth, cutting, or harvest, either in farming or images.
