No. Barley is not wheat at all. Barley and wheat are two different species of cereal grasses belonging to the family Triticeae. Barley does belong in the wheat family, which is, as mentioned, Triticeae, but is of an entirely different species from wheat. The species name for barley is Hordeum vulgare, and the species name for wheat is Triticum aestivum. No doubt either look similar, but both are quite different from the other.

No, they are not. Barley is called Hordeum Vulgare in Latin, wheat is called Triticum spp.

Barley is generally thicker, broader, and coarser than rye. Rye tends to grow better in cold, wet weather but will yield up to 30 percent more crops than wheat.
