Crop
[NOUN]What is a "crop"?
A crop is a specialized pouch-like structure in a bird's digestive system. It acts as a temporary storage chamber for food, allowing birds to consume a large amount of food quickly and process it gradually. This adaptation enables efficient feeding and digestion, particularly for birds with high energy demands or those that need to gather food in one location and consume it later. The crop plays a crucial role in optimizing a bird's foraging strategies and managing its food intake.
Examples
1. The fertile soil in this region yields abundant crops of wheat and corn.
2. The farmer harvested a bountiful crop of watermelons from his fields.
3. The farmer grew crops of different kinds, including wheat, corn, and potatoes.
