Rice is also a grass.  Collectively, the grain
producing grasses (wheat, oats, corn, rice, etc.) are
referred to as cereal grasses.  When you include
plants like buckwheat and amaranth, the collective
term is cereals.

My OLD, classroom definition of cereal was the edible
seeds of cultivated grasses so there were 5 cereal
grains (oat, wheat, barley, rice, corn/maize)  and
getting students to differentiate between cereals and
cereal products (even though you tell them in class
that lucky charms are a cereal product...)
