Corn is classified as a legume:
There are over 600 different kinds of legumes and more than 13,000 varieties. The term "legume" is used to describe plants whose seeds are enclosed in two-sided pods; sometimes the whole pod is eaten but most often, the seeds only are consumed. The most commonly-known legumes are lentils, string beans, dried beans, soy beans and peanuts.
Corn, on the other hand, does not really belong to the legume family; it is more of a cereal. But because of its composition, preparation and cooking methods,
we tend to classify it as an appendix to legumes, with which it shares many similarities.
