corn stalks

Tall grain plants

Corn stalks are the tall, rigid stems of corn plants, typically reaching six to ten feet high.

After harvest, the dried stalks remain standing in fields or are cut down for various uses—animal bedding, autumn decoration, or composting back into the soil.

The scarecrow stood among the corn stalks.
