Did you know that if there wasn’t all that pesky silk on our sweet corn ears – there wouldn’t even BE sweet corn (or field corn)?
Corn silk refers to the long, thread-like fibers found on the ears of both sweet corn and field corn. Each strand of corn silk is a part of the female flower, and each strand is connected to a potential kernel of corn.
The tassel (the feathery stuff at the very top of the stalk) is the male part of the plant that produces pollen. When the plant is “tasseling” pollen gets sprinkled onto the silk strands and travels down the ear to fertilize each future kernel. The number of silks that successfully captures pollen determines the number of kernels that will develop on the ear of corn.
Pretty amazing!
