Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Corn plants have both male and female flowers. The tassel represents the male flower. When tassels emerge, they produce a spikelet, which then grows anthers that contain pollen. A single corn plant can produce 2 to 5 million pollen grains.

Detailed explanation-2: -The male flower of the corn plant is known as a corn tassel. After the bulk of the plant growth is complete, tassels will appear on top of the plant. Corn plant tassels can be green, purple, or yellow. The tassel’s job is to produce pollen that encourages the growth and ripening of the corn ear.

Detailed explanation-3: -All types of corn readily cross-pollinate. Sweet corn must be isolated from field corn, popcorn and ornamental Indian corn either by location or flowering dates, or the ears harvested will have kernels of different types.
