Question
Why do we not use the terms maize fruit and maize seed? What do we say instead?
✓
Answer
Maize grain is actually a fruit in which the fruit wall and the seed coat are fused together to form a protective layer. Therefore, we do not use the terms maize fruit and maize seed. Instead, we call such fruits as grains.
