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.
