Is maize a legume crop?

Sweetcorn is not a member of the legume family. They are both flowering plants (Division Magnoliophyta) but that's where the similarity ends. Firstly sweetcorn is a narrow leaved flowering plant (Class Liliopsida) while the legumes are members of the broad leaved flowering plants (Magnoliopsida). Sweetcorn is a member of the grass family Poaceae. The legumes are actually an order consisting of families. Currently there is a lot of botanical argument about this group of plants and if proposed changes are made, anything I said here would be out of date very quickly. Legumes are plants which have an ovary consisting of two seed leaves with multiple seeds all joined down one side of the ovary. Of course there are thousands of legumes but think of a pea or a bean.
