Explanation: The maize grain is called as a fruit and not a seed because it comes from a separate ripened ovary within the grass inflorescence. In the case of maize, the grain has a pericarp of the fruit fused with the seed coat.

Also, the ovary develops into the fruit while the ovule develops into the seeds
