Maize is a monoecious plant in which the male flower emerges: (NSCL 2018)

✅Explanation: Maize (corn) is a monoecious plant, meaning it has separate male and female flowers on the same plant. The male flowers (tassel) typically emerge at the top of the plant about a week before the female flowers (silk) appear on the ear. This timing difference promotes cross-pollination.

🔑Key Points:
-Plants having both the male and female reproductive parts present are called monoecious plants.
-All gametes, male and female, are produced by monoecious plants. Androecium, which refers to the male portion, is made up of stamens, and gynoecium, which refers to the female portion, is made up of the pistil.
-Some examples of monoecious plants are Maize, Cucumber, Chara, Fig, Melon, and Coconut.
-It's commonly known as a hermaphrodite or bisexual flower when a flower possesses both male and female reproductive organs.
-It's known as unisexual when a flower just has male or female reproductive organs. Both staminate and pistillate flowers can be found on a single plant in a monoecious species.
