Corn germ is the embryo inside a corn kernel. Its the little solid part. It's essentially a seed.
A corn kernel serves as the seed of the corn plant, containing the embryo that will grow into a new plant when conditions are favorable. It is made up of three main parts: the pericarp (outer shell), the endosperm (nutrient supply for the embryo), and the germ (the embryo itself). The kernel stores starches and nutrients, which provide energy for germination and early growth. Additionally, corn kernels are a significant agricultural product used for food, animal feed, and various industrial applications.
This reflects the property of life known as growth and development, which refers to the ability of organisms to increase in complexity and size over time through a series of stages or processes. In the case of the kernel of corn, the embryo plant has the potential to develop into a complex plant with various structures and functions.
When you eat a cob of corn, you are primarily consuming the kernels, which are made up of the endosperm, germ, and pericarp (hull). The endosperm is the starchy part of the kernel that provides energy for the plant embryo. So, while you are not eating just the endosperm, you are eating a significant portion of it along with other components of the corn kernel.
