Corn (Maize) is a selected grass. (Teosinte) Wheat is also a grass (Emmer) which hasn't been nearly as modified.

The american indigenous people cultivated and developed corn over 10,000 some years. An ear of corn can be boiled and eaten. Wheat? Not so much.

You can absolutely boil wheat, so I am not sure I follow....

I guess I meant more along the lines of: "An ear of corn can be husked by hand and boiled." Individual processing is far more accessible and feasible compared the threshing, hulling, and winnowing processes of wheat.
