cornfield

Maze of stalks

A cornfield is a field where corn is grown.

In American English, this means maize; in British English, it typically means wheat or other cereal grains.

The word evokes rural agricultural landscapes: We drove past miles of cornfields.

A cornfield can serve as a setting for hide-and-seek, horror movies, or getting lost.
