Botanically speaking, corn is a caryopsis, or dry frui but is popularly known as a grain.
When corn is sitting on the cob, all yellow and squishy, it's vegetable, when corn is taken off the cob and dried out, it's grain.
Corn is either a grain or a vegetable depending on what state it's in. Eaten soft, it's considered a vegetable. ChaCha On!
