The early English settlers in Plymouth Colony learned B) how to grow new crops such as corn from the Native Americans. More specifically, the local Native Americans taught the Pilgrims, who had arrived from England and were not familiar with the agricultural practices of the New World, how to cultivate corn (maize) as well as other crops like squash and beans. This knowledge was crucial for the survival of the settlers, as they needed to grow food that was suitable for the climate and soil of their new environment.
