Each "hair" (actually it's called silk) leads to a single kernel. This is how the corn is pollinated. The silk is part of the female flower on the plant. The tassel at the top of the stalk is the male flower. The pollen is produced by the male flower and drops onto the silks of the female flower. The pollen travels down the silk and into the ovary, which becomes a kernel of corn.
How's that for sex education for plants?

The corn is on the Cob, so they call it corn on the cob so which you recognize what variety of corn you would be eating. in the event that they only known because it corn you won't recognize in case you have been getting it on the cob or no longer. -Connor

I don't care if the first poster actually answered your question both concisely and correctly.
We all know that corn has "hair" to attract all those toursits picking their own corn right from the stalk. Like curly? Red, maybe? Oh, of course - it's time now for the page boy style and THAT ear of corn is JUST so CUTE!

Corn silk is the female part of the corn plant that is fertilized by the pollen from the tassels to make each kernel, which is the seed of the plant.
