Maize grain, commonly referred to as corn in the United States, is technically a fruit known as a "caryopsis" or "kernel." In botanical terms, a caryopsis is a type of fruit where the seed is tightly attached to the fruit wall, making it difficult to separate. The individual kernels of corn are the seeds of the maize plant, and they develop from the fertilized ovary of the maize flower. While corn is often thought of as a vegetable, it is botanically classified as a fruit because it fits the criteria for a caryopsis.
