The word ear is a noun for a hearing organ, but also for cereal grains (ear of corn). Both animals and corn plants could be said to be "earred" (having ears on them).

For all other uses of ear, the noun is used as a noun adjunct: ear piercing, ear infection. This is also the case for the related nouns earlobe, eardrum, and earwax.
