Best Answer

No Corn or Maize as its referred to in most of the world was native to the Americas and wasn't brought to Europe and Asia until the 15th and 16th centuries.

Based on William Bradford's account in "Of Plymouth Plantation", it seems clear that the settlers at Plymouth had heard of "Indian corn", as they recognized it when they saw it, but they had never seen it before.
