Rye actually is a type of bread. Rye, sourdough, and pumpernickel are three types of bread. A loaf is what they come in.

How is Loaf a type of bread? Bread can come in the form of a Loaf but that does not mean Loaf is a type of bread. Meat Loaf is not a bread!

Also, Rye IS a type of bread! Since I was very young, anytime I ordered breakfast at a restaurant and it came with toast, they would ask if you wanted white, wheat, or rye bread.

In America, rye is one of the more common types of bread available, more so than sourdough or pumpernickel. All three of these are available options for the varieties of bread available.

A loaf is not a type of bread, it is simply the most common form that it is available in. Loaf would need to be grouped with bun and roll.
