Corn is a grain, fruit and vegetable.

It is considered a vegetable because it is harvested for eating, is considered a grain because it is a dry seed of a grass species and is considered a fruit because it has a botanical definition.

Yes. Wheat is a monocot from the Poaceae family. This means it is classified as a "grass" due to its lack of cotyledons (first leaves), fibrous root system and lack of taproot (a taproot is the thick root you see when you pull a dicot such as dandelion out of the ground).

Corn is both a grass and a grain. The seeds of a corn plant (which is botanically a grass) are used for grain and for food for humans.

Additionally, "corn" in the US is also called "maize" in other parts of the world. In the UK, "corn" can be used to refer to several different grains.
