The ear develops from the growing point of the stalk at a leaf node and eventually emerges from behind the leaf sheath. Typically it emerges from about the fifth or sixth leaf down from the tassel, but not always.

Why does the ear of corn grow up from the stalk instead of down?
The growth points (or apical meristem) of any and every grass, including corn, begins and is located at ground-level. That is why you see the leaves of corn grow up and out from the center of the plant. This is the same for all other grasses. The seed head of all grasses also begin from the growth point and grow up through the stem.

Will a corn stalk grow again next year?
No. Corn is an annual grass, no matter where it is grown, not a perennial. Once corn is harvested the stalks will never regrow back into a corn plant. A stalk is dead plant material, just like with any other grass that is grazed or harvested for hay or silage. It is the tillers of a grass plant that are what make it seem like a stalk of grass is growing back, but not the stalk itself. Corn does not have these tillers, not like its wilder cousins or ancestors, which means they are unlikely to grow back again next year.Seeds from corn may grow into corn plants, but they won't be as good nor as vibrant or vigorous as the corn that was deliberately planted.
How many ears grow on a corn stalk?
Typically around July, the tassel on top of the corn plant fertilizes the silks (those stringy things when you husk sweet corn) on the ear of corn. After the pollen gets on the end of the silk, it travels down into the ear where it pollinates the kernel. Each kernel has its own silk. After fertilization, the ear starts forming. Pollination is dependent on when you plant and the temperature outside. So when you see the tassel at the top open up, the ear will start forming in the coming weeks.
