What is this fallacy?

Person 1 : wheat isn't bread because it has to go through a process in order for it to be called bread

Person 2 🤓:  "Wheat is bread because bread comes from wheat"

Yeah, I'd hesitate to even call fallacy because surely, no one is simple-minded enough to fall for this.

"P is part of Q, therefore P = Q" - really?

OP - perhaps person 2 is trolling?
