Is corn a grain or vegetables?
Corn seed is actually a vegetable, a grain, and a fruit.
Corn seed is a vegetable because it is harvested for eating. (Usually sweet corn when grain is harvested at the milk stage.)
Corn seed is a grain because it is a dry seed of a grass species. (Usually field corn when harvested after the grain is relatively dry.)
Corn seed is a fruit because that is the botanical definition.
More details follow.
Corn (Zea mays) is sometimes called a vegetable grain. Corn is a monocotyledon with only one seed leaf like grasses. The easily identified "grains" (or cereal plants/grasses) such as wheat, oats, and barley are also monocots. A grain is defined as the harvested dry seeds or fruit of a cereal grass, or the term can refer to the cereal grasses collectively.
Field corn that is harvested when the seeds are dry would thus be considered a grain. Sweet corn when harvested before maturity is usually considered a vegetable. It is grown to be eaten fresh as a tender vegetable rather than as a dried grain suitable for grinding into flour or meal. A vegetable is defined as a plant cultivated for an edible part or parts such as roots, stems, leaves, flowers, or seeds/fruit.
If you want to be very precise, all cereal grains could be called vegetables, but by convention we separate the cereal grains from the rest of the "vegetables" such as peas, lettuce, potatoes, cabbage, etc.

What is the history on wild rice?
Wild rice has been eaten by the Algonquin, Chippewa, Dakota, Fox, Ojibwa, Sioux, and Winnebago people since long before European explorers arrived in North America. The Chippewa carried small pouches of wild rice with them whenever they traveled. By the early part of the 20th century, only the clear lakes and rivers of the most northern regions of Minnesota could still support the growth of wild rice. About 80% of the wild rice grown in the United States today is cultivated in paddies, a practice that began about 1972. The seeds do not grow well in stagnant water, and growers had to develop varieties that adapted to their new environment. With cultivated hybrid varieties are developed to mature at the same time. The plants are then completely cut down, and processed by machines. In the final stages of processing, rubber rollers remove the hulls and create small cuts in the grain that shortens the cooking process. Though wild rice is mostly associated with the United States and Canada, it is also grown in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Southern China. China grows another species, sometimes called Manchurian wild rice, which is not eaten for the grains, but for their broad leaves are used to wrap dumplings, and the young shoots are cooked and eaten like asparagus.
Wheat is planted to a limited extent as a forage crop for livestock, and its straw can be used as a construction material for roofing thatch.

Is salba the same grain as quinoa?
No. Both are "pseudo" grains because they are actually seeds and both are extremely good for you. Salba is made from chia seeds and quinoa is from the quinoa seed. Both originated in South America and have been used for centuries. Quinoa should be soaked before cooking and the cooking ration is 2 parts water to 1 part quinoa. Chia can be soaked or eaten raw. If soaked, the ratio is 9 parts water to 1 part chia (or salba) and it makes a gel that can be used in smoothies or gravies or just about anything. It does not dilute the taste of food, and has an extremely mild taste. Actually the taste of quinoa is quite mild as well. Both have a slightly nutty flavor. Both seeds are great for vegetarian diets as they have protein and quinoa has all the amino acids, which is quite unusual for a 'grain'.
