Solution and Explanation

Sugarcane is not classified as a food crop; it is considered a commercial crop. Food crops are grown primarily for direct human consumption such as rice, wheat, pulses, and vegetables. Sugarcane, however, is cultivated mainly for producing sugar, jaggery, ethanol, and other industrial products. Although sugar made from sugarcane is edible, the crop itself is grown for industrial and commercial purposes. Therefore, sugarcane is categorized under commercial crops, not food crops.
