Wheat and barley can be distinguished by their appearance and growth characteristics. Wheat typically has a broader, flatter leaf structure, while barley leaves are narrower and more pointed. Additionally, barley heads are usually more elongated and have a distinctive awn (bristle) on the grains, whereas wheat heads tend to be denser and less elongated. The color of the grains also differs, with barley often being a lighter shade compared to the darker golden color of many wheat varieties.

No. Barley is not wheat at all. Barley and wheat are two different species of cereal grasses belonging to the family Triticeae. Barley does belong in the wheat family, which is, as mentioned, Triticeae, but is of an entirely different species from wheat. The species name for barley is Hordeum vulgare, and the species name for wheat is Triticum aestivum. No doubt either look similar, but both are quite different from the other.
