Corn starch does not have a crystalline structure; it primarily exists in an amorphous form. While it can form granules that may exhibit some ordered regions, the overall structure is more disordered, which is characteristic of many polysaccharides. Upon heating and gelatinization, corn starch swells and loses any residual crystalline characteristics, further emphasizing its amorphous nature.
