corn: parts of a corn plant. At the top of a mature corn plant is the tassel, the male part of the plant. Along the stalk are the leaves and the ears of corn, wrapped closely in husks. Hundreds of filaments, called silk, protrude from the top of each ear.
The corn silk growing out of the ear is the female part of a corn plant, and the tassel growing out the top of the corn stalk is the male part. The corn silk is the stigma and style of the female part of the corn. The stigma is the sticky end of the silk where pollen attaches. The style is the tube from the stigma to the ovary, where the embryo (kernel) forms on the fruitcase (cob). Every ovary (a potential kernel) has its own strand of corn silk.
