The corn tassel is the part of the plant where the pollen comes from, see bottom left picture. The pollen is what is used to actually pollinated the ear of corn which causes the ear of corn to grow.
Commercial corn today is 100% hybrid corn. This means that the seed corn is produced by cross-pollinating two inbred lines. Because corn plants have both male (tassels) and female (silks) reproductive parts, a seed corn field has to be altered in order to keep the plants from pollinating themselves and therefore just producing more inbred seeds. This is done by detasseling the 'female' rows of corn.
