Cereals, grains, or cereal grains are grasses (members of the monocot families Poaceae or Gramineae).Maize is a monocotyledon (monocot) it is a grain not a fruit.The kernel of maize is often referred to as the seed and can be refered to as a fruit.

How do I make a plant cell out of food?

Type #1: (Objectionably Less Tasty)First off, grab a plastic Zip-lock bag. This will be your Cell Wall/Cell Membrane. Sustaining for your Cytoplasm will be Corn Syrup or Lemon Jell-O. You can use a pitted fruit such as a plum as a Nucleus, Nucleolus, and Nuclear Membrane. Chloroplasts will be made by Peas, and the Golgi Body will be made of a few Fruit Roll-ups. Mitochondrion will be made of Raisins. The Rough & Smooth E.R. will be made by Pretzels and Gummy Worms. Candy Sprinkles will suffice for the Ribosomes. Vacuole will be made of Popcorn Kernels. Type #2: Jell-O and CookiesMake shaped Sugar Cookies- ice letters on them accordingly(Nucleus iced with letter N, Mitochondria with M, etc.). Prepare Lemon Jell-O and place the cookies in as the Jell-O is setting. Serve and enjoy~
