It depends on who is defining it - some say it's a fruit, or a vegetable, or a grain, or a stalk!. All are valid!. It can also depend on what part of the "corn" you are talking about!. The kernals are both seeds and the "fruit" of the plant, as it's what we eat!. But it is also a grain, e!.g!. cornbread, and a starch, e!.g!. cornstarch!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
