उत्तर
To trap pollen grains
Explanation:
The female blooms of the corn cob plant are covered in spathes. These flowers have tassels, which are overhanging bunches. These long tassels increase the likelihood of fertilisation by capturing pollen grains in the breeze during pollination. The pollen grains can easily stick to the tassels and reach the female gamete.
