The Growth of Corn
The growth of corn is divided into two groups, vegetative and reproductive. The vegetative growth of corn includes the stalk, leaves, roots and tassel. After those are fully developed the corn is considered all grown up. At that point the corn tries to reproduce itself, which is the reproductive stage. When a corn plant reproduces itself, it grows ears of corn, just like the kind you eat called corn on the cob! All those little yellow kernels of corn are actually seeds, and each one is capable of growing into a whole new corn stalk.
