The soil sucks up the water and the water soaks into the roots of the corn
Corn takes in water through its roots via a process called osmosis. Water, along with essential nutrients, is absorbed by the root hairs of the corn plant and transported up through the stem to the leaves and other parts of the plant for photosynthesis and growth.
Corn takes between one to two gallons per plant on a weekly basis. An acre of corn take 350,000 gallons of water over the 100 day growing cycle.
You water corn when the plant tops are 10 cm above the ground, and then 3 or 4 days later.
Corn is a vascular plant. Everything is vascular, except liverworts and mosses.

I did an experiment where we mixed corn starch and soil together and then grew a plant it it. It did grow very well after a couple of days of continous watering. I do not know how it would do though in just corn starch, because corn starch tends to absorb all the water and nutrients not leaving any for the plant
Because growing corn takes a lot of water, which is something Africa often does not have a lot of.
in a factory it takes just a couple of minutes, at home its about the same
