Plants of this type are called monoecious. The staminate inflorescence is the tassel; it produces pollen that is carried by the wind to the silks produced on the ears. It is all part of grass family, but not smokeable ...darn

A significantly greater number of adult femaleLabidura riparia (Pallas) was found foraging on corn (male: female, 1:4.16) than were expected from the male: female ratio (1:1.63) caught in pitfall traps.
Nymphs reared to adulthood from both corn plants and pitfall traps indicated nymphs forage without respect to sex.
Adult female earwigs killed significantly moreDiabrotica balteata Le Conte adults than did male earwigs at 2 higher diet levels of a functional response experiment. This apparent requirement of the female for more food than the male is offered as an explanation of the differences in their foraging activity.
