Male inflorescence in maize is known as
Answer: B
The male inflorescence of maize is the Tassel.
Maize is monoecious: the male and female flowers are on separate inflorescences of the same plant. The tassel at the top of the stem is a terminal panicle carrying the male spikelets, which shed pollen. The female inflorescence is the ear (cob) in a leaf axil lower down.
Silk is the long style of the female flowers that hangs out of the ear and catches pollen, and the ear head is the female cob, so both belong to the female side. 'Naid' is not a botanical term for any part of the maize plant.
