There's no question corn is a grain. It is a cereal grain, which doesn't really have anything to do with breakfast, but more to do with being the fruit from grass plants. Corn is a grass... one that has been weirdly mutated from it's lowly origins, but a grass nonetheless.

Cereals, grains, or cereal grains are grasses (members of the monocot families Poaceae or Gramineae)[1] cultivated for the edible components of their fruit seeds (botanically, a type of fruit called a caryopsis): the endosperm, germ, and bran.
