Corn germination is the process by which a corn seed sprouts and begins to grow into a plant. The germination process is triggered when the seed is exposed to water, oxygen, and appropriate temperatures.

When a corn seed is planted in soil, it absorbs water and swells up, causing the seed coat to split open. A small root called the radicle emerges from the seed, followed by a shoot that will become the stem of the plant. As the shoot grows, it reaches for the surface of the soil and eventually emerges above ground.

Corn seeds require warm soil temperatures to germinate. The ideal temperature range for germinating corn seeds is between 60 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit, with an optimal temperature range of 77 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit. If the soil is too cold or too wet, the seeds may not germinate properly.

Once the corn seed has germinated and grown into a plant, it will continue to grow and develop until it reaches maturity. This process includes the growth of leaves, tassels, and ears of corn, which contain the kernels that can be harvested for food or used for other purposes.
