I wonder how come, since C4 plants, such as corn, have high water-use efficiency

A plant can use water efficiently, in terms of getting a lot of CO2 in exchange for the water they transpire, and still use a lot of water.
Corn grows super fast at peak season.

In some cases, such as no wind, you can evem hear it growing. It’s like bamboo in that regard, which makes sense since they’re both grasses

Yeah, it’s a very creepy experience to walk through a corn field at night in July.
Definitely no place for children. If you see any, run like hell. ;)
