Corn silk is called stigmata maydis in Latin, meaning "mother's hair" as the word "mays" is said to come from a native Mexican term for "mother. Corn silk is in fact made up of the silk strands, hairs, or stigmas, which you find on an ear of corn.


Though it’s often discarded when corn is prepared for eating, it has been used in several medicinal applications.
