In its oldest form "corn" means grain (including almost any type such as Wheat, Oats, Barley, Rye, Maize). It refers to the grain itself, to the plant while it is growing or to the crop as a whole. It usually refers to the main type of grain grown in that area, so in parts of England it is likely to be wheat but in much of Scotland it is likely to be oats.

It is also has different uses in such expressions as:

ryecorn to distinguish the grain used for bread making (cereal rye or rye) from the pasture grass, ryegrass
barleycorn to distinguish the grain used for beer making from the pasture grass or weed, barley grass
corned beef that has been preserved by adding corns of salt (grains of salt) and
corn flour that can mean flour made from maize or can mean any flour that is made to mix easily so that it can be used for thickening sauces etc with little chance of going lumpy.
