Background
Corn is a grass, native to the Americas. The exact origin is unknown, but
tiny ears of corn have been discovered at ancient village sites and in tombs
of early Americans. Evidence of corn in central Mexico suggests it was used
there as long as 7000 years ago, where it was domesticated from wild grass.
Cultivated corn is known to have existed in what is now the southwestern US
for at least 3000 years. In the United States, many of the various Native
American tribes have traditionally grown corn-also known as maize-and
used it for both food and utilitarian purposes. Eastern tribes shared their
knowledge of corn production with early European settlers, an act which
saved many from starvation.
Early American colonists dried corn and ground it as meal for flour. They
used the ground corn in porridge, cake and bread. Fresh, or sweet corn, the
kind we like to eat as corn on the cob, was not developed until the 1700s.
Before then corn was only used in its dried form.
Along with wheat and rice, corn is one of the world's major grain crops.
It is the largest grain crop grown in the US. About 9 percent of all the corn
grown is used to produce food for humans. These foods include corn meal
and other food products such as cooking oils, margarine, and corn syrups and
sweeteners (fructose). Sixty four percent of all corn grown is used as feed for
livestock.
Corncobs have been used in the manufacturing of nylon fibers and as a
source for producing degradable plastics. Ethanol, a renewable fuel made
from corn, has shown the possibility of becoming a major renewable fuel for
the world's automotive industry.
Corn can be produced in much of Oklahoma, but primary production is in
the Panhandle area. In Oklahoma, corn is harvested for either grain or silage
with most of the grain going to dairies, animal feeding operations, and poultry
operations. In an average year, around 25 million bushels are grown for
grain in Oklahoma, with a yield of 130 bushels per acre. One bushel of corn
is equal to 56 pounds.
Corn is pollinated by wind and is typically planted in 30-inch rows A single
seed (or kernel) of corn may produce a plant which yields more than 600
kernels of corn per ear. On one acre of land, anywhere from 22,000 to 35,000
individual plants may be grown.
Hybrid corn is developed to produce from one to two ears per plant. Ears Background

How many words does the Hopi language have for corn?
A quick internet search does not say how many words - only that the Hopi language has a lot of words that describe corn by the color, parts of the plant and the various foods made from the different varieties of corn.
Why is water so important to hopi?
so they could use the water
What good trades did the hopi trade?
The Hopi tribe bartered with their neighbors through pueblos a which were the Hopis partner in crime/trade and the Hopi even bought some of their land by trading tons of their food so they could store their young in the pueblos from the pueblo people who had way more secure houses but they didn't stop there they also bought people as slaves worth tons of food that the tribe had and was willing to give away to people but had to trade back because they also sold their weapons and their gardens so half or more than half of the tribe became instinct from their bad choices do bartering and some died from starvation. The end.
Where did the hopi come from?
they came from over a million years ago when the ice age happend they followed several animals when they crossed the ice age bridge then they got stuck there when the ice age was over
How did the hopi use kachinas to teach their children important value?

Anasazi is a Navajo word for a native american group (not one tribe) that existed in the area before the Navajo and experienced a serious population decline before Europeans arrived. So they existed for many thousands of years. Their descendants are most likely the Hopi, so the culture of the so called Anasazi was probably similar to that of modern day Hopi. So when the Navajo arrived and called them Anasazi they probably called themselves Hopi as they do now.
Why was it important for the Hopi to store surplus food?
So that they were always prepared for any situation
