Is maize a flowering plant?
Maize or corn is a monocotyledonous flowering plant. At the top of the stalk is the tassel which represents the cluster of male flowers. The female part is the "cob" that emerges from the axil of a leaf. Maize actually produces ears of corn. The ear consists of the grains of corn attached to the cob, the silk that transfers the pollen to the grains and the shuck that protects the rest of the ear.
When corn goes to seed?
Corn (maize) "goes to seed" once the tassels have released their pollen onto the silks down where the ear develops.
