Is corn currently in the process of enslaving our cars now?We don't kill it. We let it go through a full life cycle before harvesting. Corn plants die every year anyway. They are annuals.
The biological goal of plants and animals is reproductive success. Corn is now extremely successful once it got us to take over all the work. Sure we eat a portion of the seed. But since being enslaved to do all the major functional bidding for corn, we have expanded its population geometrically in terms of geography and numbers. It has gone from a small area in Central American thousands of years ago to being grown on every continent but Antarctica. Corn didn't migrate all those places on its own. It got us to do the footwork.
Once corn enslaved/domesticated humans, corn's population has skyrocketed. Its reproductive success is off the charts.
