Cotton was referred to as a "cash crop" because it was grown primarily for sale rather than for personal consumption. Its high demand, particularly in the textile industry, made it a lucrative agricultural product, leading farmers to prioritize its cultivation. This focus on cash crops like cotton often influenced economic decisions and agricultural practices in regions where it was cultivated.
