Is cereal a soup or salad?

Have you ever wondered what cereal actually is? You know, I’ve actually been asking myself that question for a while because if you think about it, a soup is a dish that is watery with some ingredients mixed in. Similarly, when talking about cereal, the cereal could be the ingredients while the milk could be the watery substance. At the same time, a salad is a dish that requires vegetables with some sort of dressing and in terms of cereal, the cereal could act as the vegetables while the dressing could be the milk. But thankfully, a recent video by Vsauce was able to help me clarify.  Hope you enjoy!
