Sorry, JulstlOOkin, copy and paste is too obvious.
Baby corn is fertile, immature corn that has not been allowed to grow to full mature size.

Its from the regular corn plant, just harvested at very early stage.

All commercial baby corn is imported already processed from countries with low labor costs. It is hand harvested and hand husked from immature corn at or within 1-2 days after silking. The main varieties used are either prolific (multiple-eared) starchy feed corn types (Su), or supersweet (sh2). Research indicates the quality (sweetness and crispness) is equally good for all genotypes, but that yields are higher with prolific (multi-eared) starchy types. Varieties with small kernels and long ears are particularly suited. Pickled baby corn imported from Taiwan and Thailand is produced from special field corn (Su) varieties developed there for that purpose such as Tainan No. 5, Tainan No. 11, Tainung No. 351, or a supersweet corn such as Florida Staysweet

It can be the same plant. Try them as fingerfood slightly pickled.
