Answer:
The previous answers are good, but maida also has some finely ground wheat bran in it too, making in coarser than American all-purpose flour. I wouldn't use it for layer cakes or sugar cookies, but it would work for other things. I don't think it has as much gluten as American flour either, but I'm guessing on that, having used it for both Indian and American cooking.
Finely grinded wheat is called Maida.
Wheat grain is a staple food used to make flour for leavened, flat and steamed breads; cookies, cakes, pasta, noodles and couscous,and for fermentation to make beer.

Maida flour is super refined wheat flour used to make a wide variety of food items like puri, chappathi, paratha, etc. Maida is sometimes referred to as "All purpose flour". In India maida is used to make pastries and other bakery items like bread, biscuit, toast etc. However, there has been a recent debate on the exact constiutents used in preparing maida.
Maida is made from refined wheat. Wheat is the cereal grain. Wheat flour is made from whole wheat.
This is why maida is very low in fibre and less healthy than wheat flour.
Fibre content in maida : 0.3g/100g
Fibre content in wheat flour: 1.9 g/100g
wheat is the cereal-grass crop and maida is flour - itz what u get when u grind wheat.
maida is refined wheat flour.
rotis made with maida have a finer texture and tend to be more elastic.
maida is made up of wheat.
