You are right, but it is not the only one. It depends on whom you are talking to, whether it is informal to someone you know, or whether it is singular or plural. That makes four possibilities (simplifying here, I mean at least 4)

(tú) come (informal, singular)
(él) coma (polite, singular)
(ustedes) comed (informal, plural)
(ellos) coman (polite, plural)

Perikles is right. I will just try to make pronouns a little clearer:
