4. The growth of the maize: Maize plants grow very tall, they may be 4 metres or more high. The growth of maize is divided into two groups, vegetative and reproductive. The vegetative growth of corn includes the stalk, leaves, roots and tassel. When the corn has grown tall, it tries to reproduce itself, which is called the reproductive stage. It grows ears of corn. All those little yellow kernels of corn are actually seeds, and each of them is going to grow into a new corn plant. http://www.michigan.gov/mikids/0,1607,7-163-15943_20529---2_A,00.html http://plantandsoil.unl.edu/croptechnology2005/UserFiles/Image/siteImages/CornPlantCBLG.jpg
