Because corn is a cereal crop just like barley, wheat, rye, and triticale, since it is a grass plant which is capable of sexual reproduction which produces seeds much like any other grass plant species that exists on Earth. These seeds are harvested and compiled together as grain. The seeds are called kernels.

Corn is a plant that has been artificially selected over many many breedings to produce kernels that are larger than any other grass seed and stay on the cob much longer than any other native grass species, relying on humans to harvest and disperse the seeds and not Nature. Hence, corn was made into a grain.

Does a corn plant grow faster than a pea plant?

Corn plants typically grow faster than pea plants because corn is a larger and more robust plant species compared to peas. Corn plants have a faster growth rate and reach maturity within a few months, while pea plants are smaller and take longer to mature. Additionally, environmental factors like sunlight, water, and soil quality can also influence the growth rate of both plants.
