Maarit and her Maya ancestors grew corn as part of their routine.

Maarit y sus ancestros mayas cultivaban maíz como parte de su rutina.

Explanation:

In the past, Mayan civilizations performed a wide range of methods to grow food. They used a technique called shifting cultivation, which refers to a method that parts of a land are temporarily used to grow crops. Amongst the most important crops, maize (corn) was the most predominant and was even considered sacred.

Therefore, if the text refers to Maarit's ancestors, which were Mayan, then the most important crop they grew was corn.

En el pasado, las civilizaciones mayas llevaban a cabo una amplia gama de métodos para cultivar alimento. Utilizaban un método llamado agricultura migratoria, el cual se basaba en utilizar partes de la tierra eran utilizadas temporalmente para crecer sus cultivos. Dentro de los cultivos más importantes, el maíz (elote) era el que más predominaba. De hecho, era considerado sagrado.

Por esta razón, si el texto se refiere a los ancestros de Maarit, los cuales eran mayas, entonces el cultivo más importante era el maíz.
