How many kernels of corn are on a cob?
That depends upon a number of things. Any given variety of corn will produce a characteristic number of kernel rows, as counted in the middle of the ear (fewer rows at the end, where the ear tapers). Poor growing conditions, or poor rates of pollination will result in fewer rows, and fewer kernels overall. But, in general, given fair growing conditions and good pollination rates, most varieties will produce either 8, 10, 12, or 14 rows of kernels in the middle of the ear. 8 rows is typical for many earlier, open-pollinated varieties. 12 or 14 rows is more typical for the latest hybrid varieties. All the above is for sweet corn. I think the same general rules apply to feed corn, both flint and dent types. I know of no corn that produces an odd number of rows, unless it be an occasional freak ear. I did a little research after asking this question, so I thought I would post an update. As the previous poster was kind enough to inform us, the number of rows does vary. But in my research, I never found any evidence that it could be as low as 8 or 10 (nor have I ever seen an ear of corn with so few rows). Also, the number of rows is (for the most part*) dependent only upon the specific variety of corn. From what I can tell, 16 is probably the most common number of rows. 14 and 18 are also seen often. Confirming what the previous poster said about odd numbers, corn ears ALWAYS have an even number of rows, because the rows always occur in pairs. * Note, poor pollination will not affect the number of rows, though it will certainly affect the number of kernels. Also, "poor growing conditions" generally won't affect the number of rows. It has to be an EXTREME event, entailing severe physical or chemical damage to the plant, in an early stage of vegetative development. Lack of moisture isn't enough, at any time of the growing season. And nothing can affect the number of rows once the plant reaches the reproductive stages of development.
How many kernels are on an ear of corn?
There is no exact number of corn-kernels on an ear of corn. It all really depends on the growing conditions and size of corn when it's harvested.

How many rows of corn per cob?
You have that mixed up, and nor does the question make any sense. A cob is not a corn plant: it is a appendage that holds the corn kernels that is grown or comes from the corn plant. You can have many rows of corn with many cobs on them, and typically the number of cobs on a corn plant (especially GMO corn) is a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio.AnswerIt can vary widely depending on the type of corn, whether field, sweet, or another type, and depending on what the plant breeder bred it to do. Older varieties can have as few as 12 rows of kernels on a cob, while certain types of sweet corn can have as many as 24. The average across all types is 16 to 18 rows of kernels to the ear.

What is the purpose of silk on and ear of corn?
To get straight to the point - the silk is on the ear of corn so it can catch the pollen falling from the tassels on top of the corn plant. Each silk is able to produce one kernel of corn.
